I always have this on. In release 4.2.0 we changed the default from False to True. So no more blobstorage.0, blobstorage.1, etcetera.

This also means we can remove the keep_blob_days option, because this is handled automatically with blob timestamps.

Issue 65: start removing blob timestamps option.

It should be always true.
But it is tricky, needing a lot of changes.
And we need to keep some of the old code still, otherwise we cannot restore previously created blob backups.
See #65

I have deprecated this in version 5.0.0a3, and display this message when someone explicitly has blob_timestamps=false:

You have disabled blob_timestamps. Support for this may be dropped in version 6, making it impossible to restore backups without timestamps. See #65

I am not 100 percent sure I will actually drop it. But repozo only makes backups with timestamps in the name, so it makes sense to use the same scheme in the blobstorage backups.

If I drop it, you can still restore older backups with an older version of the backup script.
