Does using noatime on modern Linux make sense?

Starting from version 2.6.30 (which was released 5 years ago), Linux has the option relatime enabled by default. It means updates of file access time are very infrequent and prudent. But I still see recommendations to use noatime for databases or SSD discs. Are there any reason to change default configuration and use it? Does it make any measurable difference compared to relatime?
