 > That banner should be "static"/hard-coded. Including the date/time in
 there means the minified file will always change, even when there are no
 code changes. This triggers unneeded merges/updates downstream.
 The three Grunt tasks we'd look to do this with, `cssmin`, `cssjanus`, and
 `uglify` only compile files into the `/build` folder, they never touch
 files in `/src`.

 The WordPress packages (nightly, latest etc) are built using the Grunt
 tools but I don't believe the `/build` folder for any of these packages
 are version controlled, correct me here if I'm wrong. ;)

 We could also omit the date/time and just include the version and verbiage
 requests:
