It could be tuned up a bit by asking the tools team to turn

substantially more like rsync).
Last-Modified (at least) should be regarded as absolutely essential.
Again, these dates are sometimes important for patent litigation
purposes.
(It would be worth keeping FTP for that reason alone if the HTTP
server doesn't support Last-Modified)
Another reason why I like rsync in that I can easily maintain the server
date on my local store.
