This is an example of how seemingly small changes can have massive benefits. I've been hacking version stamps into binaries for a long time because often the first question on an incident call is: "What version(s) are we running?”
Having binaries self-report version info in structured telemetry data bypasses layers of aliasing as assets move from builds, to archives, to containers, to clusters, to regions.
