I am not sure if Godefroid has understood the question. This is the way I 
understood it:

?kukitTimeStamp is something that we add as an always changing query 
parameter to the POST request. Originally, we added this because we 
simply wanted to make sure that the requests are never cached. However 
this is coming from the very first piece of kss code, and thought to 
serve no purpose any more (as it does not seem to do any harm either).

Actually, you could probably remove it and still experience no change: as 
POST requests are never supposed to be cached anyway. You need to change 
the code in line 129 of serveraction.js. There is no other way to do it 
at the moment then change it in the code for yourself.

In the close future, we will be able to have both non-cachable (POST) and 
cachable (GET) requests, as well as the kss parameter to set the caching 
strategy on the action. This is in a very advanced state of 
implementation, as the necessary changes on the framework are already 
developed and waiting for review and merge. This means there is good 
chance that this feature arrives in kss 1.5.

(p.s. the kukittimestamp will disappear in any case, because we can 
implement caching in a better way, with CacheFu or whatever other method.)

This is the generic backround of ?kukitTimeStanp. Perhaps if you tell a 
bit more about your use case, we can help you with more specific advice.

Best wishes,
