Decoding time units into timedelta64 is useful if you want to be able to use them for arithmetic with datetimes. I agree that this is not always the most useful currently because, e.g., plotting doesn't work very well, and time deltas in nanoseconds are difficult to interpret. Still I'm somewhat reluctant to change the default here.

Either way, we will definitely need to support the original decode_times keyword argument for now (with a deprecation warning) so there is a smooth transition.
