This seems to be about preserving timestamps when extracting wheel files.

This is a different issue about preserving timestamps from the source 
directory to the temporary build directory.

So both are different issues, and I agree with both: during the source 
extraction and build process, you want to preserve timestamps as much as 
possible. But for the installation, you do NOT want to preserve timestamps.
