I'd prefer to see some dedicated bitbake API used even if we need to
create/add it. tinfoil and some of the bblock/unlock work shows we can
get stamp data, the question would be how to get it without
"disturbing" the existing build.
By using dedicated API, we'd be able to control the console output.
