    Yeah, this is actually intentional. I experimented with implementing the 
1.x behavior and started writing some tests to verify that newer versions of 
files took precedence over old ones but then discovered that Spark executors 
will crash with exceptions if they've downloaded a file with a given name and 
the new file's contents don't match the old file. Given this behavior it seems 
that updating the timestamp will work only if the new file has the same 
contents as the old file (in which case it doesn't matter what we do with the 
timestamp) or if all executors are replaced before running any further tasks 
(which seems like an obscure use-case that we don't want to optimize for).
