I don't actually recall that being a goal :-) > Your thoughts? -1. There are plenty of ways to check whether the file was modified if you already have a copy of it. Users just need to accept that files may change, and package authors need to accept that users may retain old copies of a file even after they replaced it. I just got a user comment a week ago of a user explicitly thanking about the ability to replace files after already publishing them.
