In future, you don't worry about updating this manually in the PR. I'll just do it once automatically using maint/UpdateDates before a release. It's completely harmless to do manually, just not necessary.

Isn't this file used to generate the documentation in github though or that also gets its dates updated automatically?, Philip's argument for updating the date in this case was that API changes that might be relevant since the previous release are not easily identifiable.

The *.1 and *.3 files are canonical, you are correct. The dates however can be updated automatically, to simply match the last commit date in the history (excluding commits which only bump the version number).

ok, I am not clear though, if by that you mean that they are being updated already whenever the documentation gets updated or not.
