We're making more user-impacting changes with less cause every release
Let's just disable atime asap so more testers check it before F8, and
forget about it
Going through the LKML thread on http://kerneltrap.org/node/14148 I
learnt that Ubuntu has already turned it off, and in principle both
Alan Cox and Ingo Molnar want it to be that way for Fedora 8 too.
Ubuntu doesn't have a decade+ history of putting user-controled settings
under /etc/sysconfig and providing python scripts named
redhat-config-xxx or system-config-xxx to manage them. Their style is
to pretend they know more than you do about how your machine should be
configured. Even if they are right, there is something to be said for
consistency.
