So I went ahead and tried to hack it, when I stumbled over this:
<note type="warning"><title>Warning</title>
Do not change the default for directories or locations that have WebDAV
enabled and use <module>mod_dav_fs</module> as a storage provider.
<module>mod_dav_fs</module> uses <code>INode MTime Size</code>
as a fixed format for <code>ETag</code> comparisons on conditional requests.
These conditional requests will break if the <code>ETag</code> format is
changed via <directive>FileETag</directive>.
