[good points I fully agree on]

There's one possibility which nobody talked about yet... changing the 
default to noatime at install time in fstab / zfs set.

I fully agree to not violate POLA by changing the default to noatime in 
any FS. I always set noatime everywhere on systems I take care about, no 
exceptions (any user visible mail is handled via maildir/IMAP, not 
mbox). I haven't made up my mind if it would be a good idea to change 
bsdinstall to set noatime (after asking the user about it, and later 
maybe offer  the possibility to use relatime in case it gets 
implemented). I think it is at least worthwile to discuss this 
possibility (including what the default setting of bsdinstall should be 
for this option).

Bye,
Alexander.
