So I did have a (admittedly very) quick look, and with
BR2_REPRODUCIBLE=y and our current logic in Buildroot, we already had
files date/time that were clearly "in the past" compared to the build,
I believe somehow set to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. So it didn't feel like
using those new options was really needed. But as you can see from the
patch send time, it was 11:55 PM, I wanted to finish my Buildroot
evening, and since I couldn't find an obvious reason to use those new
options, I decided to send just the version bump as-is.
