>From looking at the code it seems that the timestamp of the registry file does
not matter at all. For each plugin the mtime is stored, and during scanning of
plugins only this stored mtime is compared to the actual mtime on the file
system. And the latest mtime is used for storing in
priv_gst_registry_binary_write_cache().

Would you suggest storing the time of the registry creation, and then just
check plugin_mtime <= registry_mtime when scanning all plugins?
