Yes, and I'd rather that we removed that stuff entirely. The minor advantage of having time stamps in the text of the files is outweighed by the major disadvantage of the files' all being attack vectors. Even if the time stamps are maintained in the original, it would make sense to remove the Local Variables sections from the copies installed via gnulib, since changes to the copies should not update those time stamps. Perhaps gnulib-tool should be modified to do that by default?
