I'd say "moderately useful" at best.  Quite a number of things could 
make the creation dates misleading or not distinctive (think partition 
replacement, restore from pg_dump, replicas, etc.).   ALTER dates would 
be more useful, but as Tom points out, would need the 
user-configurability which can only be delivered by something like event 
triggers.
