Background: We aim to allow installing CiviCRM on Drupal 8 via composer/gitwithout requiring the admin to run GenCode.
The file templates/CRM/common/version.tpl is generated by GenCode and then used once... by GenCode. If you grep universe, there's nothing else that references CRM/common/version.tpl.
Task:
If the file isn't used, then do we really need to remove it? Perhaps we can keep it around (in tarballs) on the off-chance that some unpublished legacy process relies on it, but omit from the D8 builds?
