Maybe an alternative PEP could be written that supports the filesystem copying use case only, using some specialized ns APIs? I really think that all you need is st{a,c,m}timens fields and os.utimens(). I'm -1 on that, because it will make people write complicated code. Python 3.3 has already APIs for nanosecond timestamps: os.utimensat(), os.futimens(), signal.sigtimedwait(), etc. These functions expect a (seconds: int, nanoseconds: int) tuple. I'm -1 on adding these APIs, also. Since Python 3.3 is not released yet, it's not too late to revert them. +1.

Sorry, is that +1 on the revert, or +1 on the APIs?
