I think part of the problem is the lack of APIs in Linux/UNIX that let 
you actually copy a file. Hence, preserving the date after copying a 
file is more work. Hence, it would seem at least a little sensible to 
say "I just do what Linux does by default." Not "you don't need that", mind.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
