   > I just want to raise awareness that a similar change I have done for the 
tar format in 
[COMPRESS-404](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-404) has lead to 
problems with reproducible builds (see 
[COMPRESS-583](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-583)). I don't 
know if something similar could happen here too.
   
   Oh, you mean files built using these? Yes, I know this could do that, but it 
was already setting modification dates. Access date would change on each 
access, (provided the filesystem supports it and isn't mounted with e.g. 
noatime), though.
   
   I guess I could make setting those things optional with a parameter on the 
constructor or a static constructor for them, but other than that, there isn't 
that much that can be done if the filesystem gives something different all the 
time.
