Unlike bug #1447746 for bib records, editor and edit_date are always updated for authority records. This is due in part to the fact that authority records don't have a source value to update (the crux of bug #1447746 -- Well, there is an authority.record_entry.source column, but it is to my knowledge unused), but also there is currently no use case for a match-only merge with authority records, unlike bib records, which use them for loading holdings. IOW, all Vandelay authority merges/imports are considered record modifications.
Code, PGTAP test, and release notes pushed:
