I'm not prepared to just accept that at face value.

I can't think of a single instance in at least the last three decades
where I have actually used or needed atime for *anything*.  And
over that time period I have been responsible for running hundreds
of UNIX servers.

I'm really interested in hearing from people who actively use
atime on a regular basis for non-trivial purposes.  What are
the modern use cases for atime?
