I actually think both are quite useful when setting up new systems to
quickly screen for problems. There still is a fairly large number of
virtualized systems with pretty much broken timing functions; and
checking whether fsync actually takes some time is also good thing to do
in virtualized environments - it's not an infrequent thing to see fsyncs
taking unrealistically low time.
Neither is likely to be harmful. So it doesn't seem harmful to move
them.
