Comment (by smerriman):

 I agree this is important. The default WordPress RSS feed uses
 post_modified for displaying the lastBuildDate. So if you're running a
 site where all posts are scheduled, lastBuildDate will often be days/weeks
 earlier than the most recent post in the feed. This cannot be correct.
