If relays aren't using the time to decide to which server to relay, it's 
safe for servers to use it, because they're the end recipients of it.   The 
only problem that comes in is when the relay might censor some messages to 
some servers at different times based on how long the client has been 
trying to send the message.   So I think this field is useful as long as 
relays don't use it to decide to which server a message is sent.
