The keyword expansion also bothers me - do we really need this? Even on
CVS, it was a lot of trouble. Mercurial also discourages it:

The idea is simply to show that the file versions are the same as the
ones we had in CVS. I don't anticipate updating them further. As we
roll forward to newer package versions, I expect the CVS keywords to
disappear.
See my reply to Stephen for some cases where this makes a difference
in the information provided by the packages to Lisp or human
consumers.
