Not watch_node() in userland (as that would indeed need a file system),
but the backend in the kernel.
I agree. Extending the notification code into a monitoring API for
system-internal stuff is much better than exposing such internals to
the user. IMHO, the system should be easy to understand and abstract
the internal details, even below the GUI level.
