You mean "two out of three blatently ignored long-standing behaviour and added a new feature without discussion or an EAPI bump". > Paludis doesn't preserve mtime You mean "Paludis carefully emulated Portage behaviour, and is now somehow being blamed for the whole matter, to the extent that people are trying to use threats (to the effect of 'I'm going to deliberately break packages for Paludis users") to try to get their way in the discussion". > and it's approach to randomly resetting mtimes There's nothing random about it. Files' mtimes are reset to the current time while being merged, just as Portage did for years.
