AFAICS a lot of people compare pg_dump diffs. If we apply this patch, it would break those applications. Also, it is *already* available if you add verbose option (which is sufficient to satisfy those that want the client and/or server version) in plain mode (the other modes already include the desired info by default). In the past, timestamps were removed to avoid noise in diffs.
