To filter the list of systemd units that are reprocessed: only those modified 
more
recently than the timestamp are converted again to see if the generated output
is different.

So, updating of already generated files could be prevented by changing the
time.stamp file mtime. I saw that as pointless rather than a security issue.

If you think I have underestimated the significance and impact, the file could
be moved under /var/lib/?

Thanks for your time with this.

Mark
