Well, I think this is a good thing. The first publishing date should stick.
Only if it were a versioning system, updated dates should be added. It 
isn't though.

Rational: On a happy Sunday in April 2005, I lament about my visit to a 
great rock consert.
A year later I read through my posts and find that I misspelled the name 
of the arena,
and I do an edit to correct this.
If the publishing date is changed, I'll suddenly move the concert in 
time by a year,
and my readers are confused.

However if you want to cheat and change the published date, you can do 
so explicitly in WP
You're in charge after all.
