In that case the client will be required to continue to need to send
mtime/ctime in order to ensure that we get the same historical
semantics w.r.t. ftruncate() vs truncate().
IOW: It's not a question of the client being lazy about clearing the
flags. It's a question of enforcing the correct semantics.
