Should we remove the timestamp field in the manifest header?

[gtkramer]

When doing parallel builds and comparing output of mixer in a dev environment to a prod environment, all of the manifests in the Manifest.MoM have different hashes. This is because of the timestamp field in the manifest header.

Is this something we can remove so that debug work is made easier? If I'm not mistaken, when a manifest is signed, that signature has its own timestamp, so maybe we can overlook this value?

There was some discussion about the timestamp field a few years ago. For reference:
