I'm thinking this isn't that important. In most current RPMs, the mtimes for files are in two places: 1. In the (main) rpm header 2. in the cpio header for the file in the payload. I can talk about the effect on RPMCow: the mtime isn't part of the identity of the file - it's just a content hash. When the files are actually installed, then the resulting inode is touch'ed to the right time. Therefore I think it's moot (MOOt?) from a CoW perspective, the reuse can happen.
