None of my proposals have been about storing any new information. I
don't want to implement any new systems to save/restore timestamps.

We already have commit-times coming back from the server, and embedded
in entries files. My proposals have simply been a matter of "hey, why
not use them once in a while, for something other than keyword
expansion." Very, very simple.
