Hi Michael,

The ability to set remove the revdate is already in Debian (see: http://sources.debian.net/src/asciidoc/8.6.9-3/debian/patches/html_bottom_date_change.dpatch/). The integration in upstream is tracked in https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc/pull/9 You can run asciidoc command adding "-a footer-style=none" to the command to remove the date in the footer so taht you avoid reproducibility issues. If you use the "-a footer-style=revdate" option, you'll need to set a revdate attribute if you want the date to be set here. Not sure if you want more from me to do in this context. Thanks, Joseph
