I'm actually curious on this one since my general stance on this is that 
if you have *released* a version then that version (no matter the amount 
of timestamp changes) have been "used" and thus should not appear in any 
new releases unless you use the exact same binary.

Can you give me an example where the above would not be true ?

(p.s. because how p2/tycho etc. works and making it hard to reuse 
binaries from previous builds at a small granularity this actually 
results in micro version bumping more often than it technically need to 
but IMO that should be solved by reusing or producing exact same 
binaries instead of "lying" about two binary different versions are to 
be considered the same.)
