This is true... but then you never know, you will always get people that
add them all just because they can, and then you have a space issue, and
people start to complain they have to scroll to see this, and that, and we
then end up  having to reconsider the feature ;)

Center makes perfect sense if the date format was consistent, for example:

  Mon, 01:25
  Tue, 23:24
  Fri, 11:17

However, I've noticed that even with 24hr clock on, it doesn't display the
full digits for the hours, so the above looks like:

   Mon, 1:25
  Tue, 23:24
  Fri, 11:17

Or something close to it, really difficult to shift a character half a
space in here ;)  It also helps if you're using fixed width fonts,
otherwise it looks odd when you're using letters like i underneath letters
like M or W.

I'm not saying left align looks bad, I'm just saying I think center align,
in most cases, looks better.
