:Well, what about atime updates? Or, did I miss something?

:Then, next thought: why don't we mount / noatime?

atime updates work the same whether softupdates is on or off. They
are asynchronous and deferred in both cases.
There are certainly many people who turn off atime on root, but there
are still some things (idle time calculation for ttys?) that I believe
use atime in /dev. I could be wrong.
