I think it's okay to leave them as is. Updating when the files change should be simpler and what is legally required.

Oops, I boldly changed the date to 2024 in all files, because it was easier this way. 😇 Before reverting this back, let me please also check with the ELPA manager what is the convention there. If it is as you say then I need to carefully check the log of each file, and that will take some time. > We could probably automate this.

Then we definitely should jump a bit up on the version numbers -- I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine.
