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).
