No. Import will also generate new database modification times. It  
will only make things worse.

This issue appears when product authors naively use the database  
modification time instead of defining their own field in which to  
store modification time data. They would have full control if they  
used their own time stamps. Most product authors simply don't know  
what the possible consequences are, or when/how the database  
modification timestamps are changing.
