Just in case you're not aware of it, 'relatime' is the default since 
Linux 2.6.30, see mount(8).

Just as a data point, I have been running all my disks with 'noatime', 
as far as I recall since before the default was changed and didn't 
notice any strange behaviour.

It might have been a motivation to stop using mboxes with mutt though 
(I'm using only Maildirs for any local storage), which is the often 
quoted example of applications that might break with noatime.

As far as I know also Debian's popularity-contest relies on access 
times, though it probably works fine with 'relatime'.

Kind regards,
Andrei
