I'll miss them, but only from a nostalgia standpoint. If those kinds
of values are stored in strings, as opposed to comments, there are
UNIX commands that can find them and report the current version of
each module in an executable. That was handy in cases where a
system/service administrator had some release management issues. It
was also sometimes handy when working with vendors in trying to
determine what patch level a product was at when for some reason the
IT department had lost track of patches applied.
