Had you actually read the commit message in its entirity [1] you would
have discovered that the text clearly explains why this was done.

It fixes bug #1970 [2] by causing the datestamp of the !RunImage file
to be used for the application creation date instead of the directory
whose metadata is easily changed by filesystem operations.

At least thats what the bug said and it was either implement it or
close it. So I implemented it.
