Why date time attributes (e.g. createdon) stored as ints

Sure there’s a perfectly good reason for this but could someone explain to me why values like createdon and editedon are stored as INTS instead of datetime or timestamp?

Thanks

Was simply a decision by the original Etomite author that is with us for legacy compatibility. This will be changing in 1.0.

It is a unix timestamp.
