Yes, the fewer version numbers (and $Log$-style history) the better.
That's for "files under revision control".  Such data added dynamically
during the build is perfectly fine, in pretty much any amount.
We do tolerate a few version tags in a few files because occasionally
people find it handy, but we definitely do not require them.
