comment 26:
\begin{enumerate}[label=\Alph*]
 \item 
 Always preserve timestamps when merging from D to ROOT, what was my original 
 suggestion. Portage and Pkgcore already comply with this.
 \item
 Preserve timestamps, but optionally allow the package manager to update "old" 
 ones. This is the suggestion from comment 12. Again, Portage and Pkgcore 
 would be compliant already (since updating mtimes would be optional).
 \item
 As B, but with mandatory updating of "old" mtimes. For this, all three package 
 managers would have to be changed.
