[DRAFT] When "Use relative time" is unchecked, explore whether repository should show timestamp

Context

When "Use relative times" is unchecked, the Repository Last update column shows a timestamp in addition to the date. This is visually cluttering the UI, which is already information-dense. Considering users can hover over the time to reveal the timestamp, displaying time may be superfluous.

Design question

  • Is the timestamp actually providing value?
  • Do we have data on what percentage of users have the "Use relative time" preference unchecked?
  • Do we have data on how valuable it is to have the timestamp always shown in the "Last update" column?
