Comment (by seagrinch):

 To me, that functionality is incorrect.

 Now, if you make a small change to a post (or even just click the publish
 button again), the post appears at the top of the activity feed.

 For example, I recently installed a new theme that required updating the
 metadata of some old posts.  This caused posts from over a year ago, that
 had not substantively changed, to appear at the top of the activity feed.

 As for thekmen's issue, if you have a draft post which you then publish,
 the publish date should be updated to the present.  If it doesn't (perhaps
 because the user published a post, then set it to draft, and then
 published it again), it's up to the user to ensure the publish date is
 correct.

 Bottom line, to my mind, the official date of record for a post should be
 the published date, not the modified one, and the activity stream should
 reflect that.  On the other hand, for a "page" content type...
