Description
Originally reported in Twenty Nineteen's GitHub repo by @Zodiac1978:
Twenty Nineteen does not have @version
numbers in the doc blocks for each file in the theme. These can be used to help make sure files in child themes are up to date.

After the release of Twenty Nineteen (and TwentyTwenty!) it doesn't make any sense any more to add those version numbers for single template files.
Although the idea got some nice reviews on the proof of concept plugin ...
https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-check/
and on WP Tavern (and on some other platforms/blogs)...
https://wptavern.com/child-theme-check-plugin-helps-wordpress-users-navigate-parent-theme-updates#comments
.. it doesn't got any traction, has no support from the Theme review team or the developer from the Theme Check plugin and in times of Gutenberg the future of child themes in general is unsure. So I think we safely can close this here (unfortunately) to clean up trac a bit more.
I'm still sad this got no support from anyone. :(
