[OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] Feature Request: Add buildstamp to release assets (Issue #610)
My download folder looks pretty cluttered with names such as `squeak.cog.spur_win64x64 (3).zip`. I think it is a best practice to include the version/timestamp name of a build into the asset names. Could we maybe change the asset names to something like `osvm_202112201228_squeak.cog.spur_win64x64.zip`?

I would definitely support this idea. I could imagine it might make some scripts a bit harder to use, since there may be places where the name handling would need futzing.

Maybe also in this format instead:
``` squeak.cog.spur_linux64x64_202101260417.tar.gz ```
(Seen in the [smalltalkCI releases](https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI/releases/tag/v2.9.6))
Closed #610 as completed.
If you rely on timestamps, fetch build artifacts from actions directly instead of the "latest-build" pre-release. We cannot include timestamps in the pre-release because we re-use it as stable links to the latest build. ;-)

I will close this comment because you can already get specific VM builds with a timestamp in the name.
