Essentially, yes.
By default, the recipe fetches the last fully available issue (as for the latest issue, the one which is currently sold at the news stands, only a few selected articles are available online, so the recipe defaults to the issue before the current one to get a complete issue) from the archive, so if I run the recipe today and in a month, I'll probably get two different issues downloaded. But if I download the same issue (for example by modifing the issue selection in the recipe or now via the username setting) again in a month, the content will be the same as it is now.
brand eins is a monthly published print magazine, but they are kind enough to have all their back issues available for free on their online web archive. So I'd like to have the output of this calibre recipe as close as possible to an electronic version of their printed magazine, resembling an EPUB issue of brand eins they would probably publish themselves.

dates in titles are useful or people that use ereadres that don't allow sorting by dates/dont display dates in their UI

As the brand eins EPUB title already includes the month and year of the magazine it contains (for example the title is "brand eins 10/2010" for the october issue of 2010), all information I need to identify and sort this ebook is already available in the title and the conversion date doesn't add any useful information to it, so I'd like to get rid of it.
I hope you can now understand my motivation of that change.
