Slightly pedantic, but according to core-utils GitHub, false.c has not been changed in 21 years. But true.c, which is what false.c is based on, has been changed as recent as 4 months ago.

I couldn’t resist looking it up, and found the results mildly interesting.

    Most changes are updating the copyright year.
    After that, it's pretty much (or maybe completely, I haven't checked exhaustively) for the --help and --version flags, not for the core part of exiting with a certain exit code.
