I am not disputing that .mo files, which are installed on user systems, should be reproducible. I am asserting that there is another workflow which would be simpler if .po file headers were also reproducible. > it's plain text, and it's a small diff. This doesn't scale. (For example, in my use-case, I'm dealing with a 5000-line unified diff full of one-line changes in date strings and C comments and any number of other things. My goal is to get the number of lines down to zero.) So: should po file generation allow the caller to control the timestamp that would be embedded?
