The minority here is having atime, hardly anyone ever uses it compared to the cost of having it. It's easy to reenable it for the few who really find it useful and want to pay for it.
tmpwatch runs by default. Everyone uses that.
Has a simple patch already which I mentioned in my original mail.

And how do you "fix" the "find"-based cron job users might have
implemented to clean up /var/cache from files not being used for time
span "x"?

Any change will have some corner cases where it will cause problems. We can make defaults work good without atime and for other instances there is always the release notes as usual. We are only talking about changing this for a new release so users would have time to adopt if necessary.

For most users, it is just a performance boost.
