GnuPG future timestamp checks and security

I'm considering ignoring the time checks (--ignore-time-conflict,
--ignore-valid-from) due to clock drift being a common problem in my
application.

What was the motivation for adding the timestamp checks? Specifically,
are there security implications to disabling them I should be
concerned about?

Thanks,
Casey
