Oh, sorry, I got this confused with: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAM1zWBtfgHT=pT0pidQo1HD=DfrXLG3gNaUvs0vZKvYfG1BHFw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ which was mentioned earlier (and which I do think is just about timestamps). I don't think any of what I said is related to the doc update in https://public-inbox.org/git/1492287435.14812.2.camel@xxxxxxxxx/ which seems reasonable to me. -Peff
