Our repository [1] has a post-update hook that rebuilds the status page after each push. Since that may happen several times a day, we might as well show the build time (as well as the date) in the footer. The trailing 'Z' is the ISO 8601 designator for UTC. Now that we're showing times, it's nice to be explicit about the timezone we're using. The rename from date -> datetime gives us backward-compatibility for folks that *do* only want the date. We keep the old date formatting to support those folks.
