Hrm, good point.

Apparently there was some issue with this, once upon a time, which
resulted in our rpms needing to update the po files... I guess I need to
do a bit more code archeology / research.  It looks like sct added this
when the pkg updated to 1.36, though there is no comment about why.

I inherited lots of history when I got e2fsprogs, so please forgive me
as I work through it.  :)

One question though, then - what is the existing timestamp removal
mechanism for, then?
