IMHO tlmgr printing version is good despite all possible
irregularities. However one should remember that some packages have
version numbers carefully hidden and some seem to have no version
number printed at all.

Sometimes not so new packages on CTAN have very recent file creation
dates and there could be many reasons for that starting from the
silent update by the author. This a matter of "c'est la vie" as we
used to say in half-Russian/half-French during my student years
