If you can show massive amounts of users that will actually be 
negatively impacted, please present hard evidence.

Otherwise all this is useless hot air.

Peace Jeff :)

In another mail, I gave an example with tmpreaper clearing out unused 
files; if some of those files are only read and never modified, 
tmpreaper would start deleting files which were still frequently used.

That's a regression, the way I see it. As for 'massive amounts of 
users', well, tmpreaper exists in most distros, so it's possible it 
has other users than just me.

you mean tmpwatch? The trivial change below fixes this. And with that 
we've come to the end of an extremely short list of atime dependencies.
