Comment:

 So, hrm. I am not so happy with keeping an extra buildid.txt file around.
 Can't we extract this info once from one of the full MAR files just before
 we are creating the update response files?

 I am not sure I understand the need for a hard-coded oldest supported ESR
 version? Could you elaborate?

 I am interested in getting rid of hard-coding the year as well but have
 not looked at how we could do  that yet.
