keepdate should be available but not the default. I've often used the option with copy commands (on various operating systems) for file refresh and configuration management sorts of things. When keepdate=true, better to throw an exception under JDK 1.1 than copy anyways. Otherwise, the likely consequence is using the wrong files in a build.
