Yes, I think so: it's lossless and easy to convert from that to another
format if it's needed.

I think you'll find that the includes set it back to the old value at the
end (please check to make sure).

There's probably no harm in doing so, and might even be a good idea overall.

In the above example I'd rather have the assumed_gamma removed, along with
the #version; thus the comment isn't necessary.

OTOH if there is no #version at all, and the scene doesn't render "right"
(i.e. gamma turns out wrong) when rendered in version 3.6 due to the
removal of the assumed_gamma, then we probably ought to place a #version
3.7 in the scene.

if you wanted to get fancy, you could leave the #version out and put a #if
around the assumed_gamma statement, where you check the version and only
apply the assumed_gamma for version 3.6 and earlier.
