Hello,

Would it be possible to include the \pdfsuppressptexinfo feature from the
trunk folder into the stable branch? It was implemented by patch 846 (
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2007-August/003171.html) on
revision 223. This would allow removing some differences between PDFs built
in different settings. In my case, this allows project members that share a
git repository to produce identical PDFs. Byte identical PDFs makes it
easier to include them in under version control as they aren't changing
inconsequentially every run. This feature compliments the previous work on
making dates and IDs deterministic.

Thanks,
Brian Quistorff
