considering that we didn't have ANY sub-second resolution for a long time I think that looking for sub microsecond resolution on access times is pointless at this time.. In any case, if you just take the top 2 bits you still have nanosec resolution, and 400 years either way. that at least should give us time to migrate to other filesystems and get all active machines retired.. (which is actually the issue, assuming that at some time in the future all new systems will be created with UFS2).
