IMHO NO(I feel very strongly about this) I don't like to use some random thing
to set a version. I prefer for the VERSION=[whatever_scm_it_uses] approach
for non automatic(i.e. VERSION=cvs, VERSION=svn and so on).

Who came up with the idea for using date for both...

And yeah for FORCE_DOWNLOAD it should be clearly documented if it's used this
or that way.
