This makes it hard to automate. Where exactly is the benefit in bumping/having dates on manpages at all? I mean, does anyone actually notice that the date changed (by remembering the date of the previous version) and think, "oh great, there's been a content change, let's check that out"? I've always found .Dd to be more of a hassle to maintain than something that actually does something for me. But maybe I'm just too ignorant. :) Sascha
