--- Comment #26 from Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> ---
but that would also not be backwards compatible.

what we had with lastModifiedDate was simply a bad API. Better remove it now
while we still have a chance to than keep it in the platform and cause
developers subtle bugs.

In addition to the reasons mentioned so far, it was bad because Date objects
are generally advicwd against by TC39. If you disagree with that I suggest you
bring it up with them. But read the thread about "frozen dates" on the
es-discuss list first.
