Linux has always been a "POSIX unless its stupid" type of system. For
the upstream kernel, we should do the right thing -- noatime by default
-- but allow distros and people that care about rigid compliance to
easily change the default.
Linux has never been a "suprise your kernel interfaces all just changed
today" kernel, nor a "gosh you upgraded and didn't notice your backups
broke" kernel.
