Timestamps in the manifests

Hi all,

We have 4 timestamps in the manifest of our jar files:
 DSTAMP: 20180806
 TSTAMP: 1443
 TODAY: August 6 2018
 Bnd-LastModified: 1533578685288

Are they really necessary? This doesn't help making the generated files
reproducible [1]. Any objection to remove the DSTAMP, TSTAMP and TODAY
attributes?

Please drop, they are an annoyance w/o any value.
