Comment (by cjones051073):
I am not conviced, in this case, that emulating the methods on older
systems is necessarily a good idea. The problem is if people are using
these methods then presumably they want/need (or at least think they do)
nanosecnd precision. So if the underlying file system simply cannot do
this, if we pretend otherwise this could lead to all sorts of issues.
Worst case, file corruption.... So in this case I remind unconvinced
emulating these methods is actually doing anyone a favour...
