The main reason is because my existing blosxom setup uses meta dates instead
of file systems dates. There are several reasons for this, not in any
particular order:

=  if my ISP fails, and I have to restore the blog somewhere else, my
current backup strategy doesn't have accurate file creation dates on the
backup copies of posts, so all the posts would show up on the day they were
restored rather than the day they were entered.

= philosophically, I consider an edit to an existing document to be an edit,
and don't want date-based permalinks to break just because I go in and edit
a file and forget to touch the date back to where it was.

= My blosxom blogs are seeded by a perl script that converts MT export files
into blosxom posts. That script currently sets meta-creation-date rather
than touching the output file.
