In general, there are very few files that require a particular timestamp. The primary use case is for .py files, because the corresponding .pyc files have the .py file timestamps baked into them, and will be recompiled if the timestamps don't match. It's a bad scheme, IMHO, but it's what we have to deal with right now. Like johansen said, if there are other use-cases, then we can always put the timestamp attribute on, but I'm not aware of any at the moment.
