Comment(by richard):
Actually, the status information request came from Tom, who wanted to be
able to display it for a set of databases which he'd been working on - if
I understood him correctly, there were several of them, with similar data
but indexed in different ways, and displaying the last modification time
would have been a useful check on which one was which. There are probably
other, better, ways of making that clear (database uuids, for starters),
but I didn't make the request up. ;-)
The timestamp of the newer base file might work normally - though it would
change when databases were replicated.
Having an accurate timestamp would also be useful for HEAD requests - a
search server could handle a HEAD request for a search without doing the
search (and include a last modified time header in the response).
