Speaking of, this looks to be... how old? Any chance of getting it 
fixed? (Especially with SSD's becoming more popular, for which it makes 
particular sense to request relatime?)

I mean... if you don't know about this bug and add relatime to fstab, 
you've just made it impossible to upgrade the kernel. And the 
work-around (edit fstab to remove relatime, 'yum update kernel', edit 
fstab to put back relatime) isn't very friendly.
