That sounds like the work I did.
The biggest problem with that is that it makes current swap.state
files, and every cached object invalid.
The StoreEntry timestamps are written in each swap.state entry, and
also in the "swap meta" header on each cache object.
putting such a change into the 2.x line violates our "promise"
that all 2.x versions would be store-wise compatible. People
would have to run ugly converters, etc.
