Likewise from my 1/3 comments - virsh.pod updates.

Personally, I'm not so sure just a plain timestamp is all that useful to
print out as the number displayed doesn't have much meaning without
format or knowing what the current timestamp is. That is, what visual
cue is there that the timestamp displayed is from within 10 seconds, 10
minutes, 10 hours, or 10 days ago?

For someone that's using the API (and not virsh) - having a timestamp
would allow for the ability to generate "more real" statistics.

I'm not opposed to it being displayed, but unlike other stats provided
that are essentially "sized" - this one is less a stat and more of
something that "could" be used. It also only has meaning for certain
values (rss not being one of those IIRC).
