-1 We are not building a unix FS. For example, the file mode, uid, and gid are remotely relevant, but, until we design a permission scheme, these should not appear in dfsFileInfo. We are unlikely to ever support access-time, but it is remotely relevant, and we may someday.

Slightly off-topic: access-time is perhaps an overkill, but creation and modification time would be great to have, there are many situations where it would be very useful to know when a file was created or modified ...
