Unfortunately, mc 4.8.20 was released only in half a year after May 2017
(November 2017), and it was not included in RHEL 8 (that's the main reason
I was asking to make a release sooner). The version in RHEL/CentOS 8 has
that annoying bug with not preserving timestamps.

Egmont, is there a possibility to release an updated mc package for RHEL 8?
