Yeah, atime is absolutely painful all around - just don't do it by default and 
maybe allow it via some option. Very little userspace depends on it and almost 
none will break outright, there is a large number of filesystems that do not do 
any (or do a poor) atime update.

So if atimes are not provided straight away it will be very clear from the 
beginning that atime isnt something that will be there by default.

Thanks,
