I'm not talking about all API in general, I'm talking about ctime specifically. People will ask "where is ctime?", and it better be where they think it should be. I don't see a point in confusing users. (Plus, there might be systems that associate yet a different meaning with ctime - it is just our guess that it means "status change time").
