I don't know if that is the right mechanism, but it revision dates are at least desired if not required in a lot of projects, so some kind of solution is needed.

I do understand Doug's worries about a separate build step.

Also note that some problems don't have to be solved right away. If we have a gradual transition, that leaves time to pick away at minor problems.
