Yes, I agree too, I just never found a time to request
if it is safe to change.

There used to be a bug.  It is fixed in 5.0-CURRENT:

: -C   Copy the file.  If the target file already exists and the files
:      are the same, then don't change the modification time of the tar-
:      get.  If the target's file flags and mode need not to be changed,
:      the target's inode change time is also unchanged.
