The "relatime" thing that David mentioned might well be very useful, but 
it's probably even less used than "noatime" is. And sadly, I don't really 
see that changing (unless we were to actually change the defaults inside 
the kernel).

I actually vote for that.  IMO, distros should turn -on- atime updates 
when they know its needed.

If you mean "relatime" I concur.  "noatime" hurts mutt and others while
"relatime" has no known problems, afaics.
