Yes, I have my partitions mounted noatime. The thing is, laptop mode, which is integrated in Ubuntu's laptop support, automatically mounts all filesystems noatime because this is beneficial for hard drive spindown times. Not _that_ beneficial BTW, but:
(a) it's the default (AFAIK), and (b) I need it for testing laptop mode tools, of which I'm the upstream maintainer. So yes, I have kind-of special needs here. ;-) In my experience there are very little tools that actually use atime for anything. The only other example that I know of is mutt, and only on local mailboxes. It would be really useful if atime weren't used here either, especially since it's pretty common to mount filesystems noatime.
