Wouldn't we want that to stay enabled?
I don't really think that enabling or disabling atime makes a big difference
with respect to media wear when sync is turned off. For the common case, vfat
filesystem on flash disks, there is only diratime. And nodiratime is default
for vfat (thanks to Martin for testing) anyway.
I can upload a new version, with atime enabled again (It's only a little
change). But as said, i don't think it matters a lot.
