Right, now I remember: for lisp/loaddefs.el I think the timestamps
wouldn't be needed and we could use the file's modtime instead.
But for autoloads.el in general this is not true because of the
existence of entry points such as update-file-autoloads which mean that
the autoloads file may be updated for some of the files it covers rather
than for all of them.
