The situation with directory watching you described is one of the largest
problems with kevent-based FS monitoring. I completely agree that the "real"
implementation shouldn't be based on kevent.

We have a kevent-based implementation in usermode which started to work as good
as it is possible with the "direct" mode [1]. I'm now pushing it to major
inotify consumers like glib and KDE and the feedback is positive.
