Right, so, I didn't mean to make it seem like people had to repeat existing suggestions... but I don't particularly like any of them.
Also, the concept I'm trying to get across here is, "build bit-identical outputs from bit-identical inputs." That's more general than "no-stamp."
The reason why i like "deterministic" for this is because it states clearly (at least to me): same input -> same output. (One might claim that uid/gid and current time *are* inputs... I suspect most users don't view them as such.)
