Comment:

 [attachment:"53507.diff"] is an update that removes `filemtime()` in favor
 of using `$metadata['version']`.

 With this patch, non-Core blocks would use the WordPress version unless a
 `version` was supplied in the `blocks.json` file.

 I did some spot checking of blocks in the directory, and I did not find
 any with `version` defined as a top level field in `blocks.json`. This
 patch would allow us to avoid using `filemtime()` in production, but it
 would require a dev note and some outreach to encourage block developers
 to add this to their `blocks.json` files.
