The intent is to let Windows users use this feature for remote files residing on GNU/Linux hosts. > For me, it would be sufficient to regard Tramp handlers as an extension > to inotify-add-watch and inotify-rm-watch, and not as a third backend in > parallel to two others. But then inotify-*-watch primitives will have to be able to be compiled on platforms where HAVE_INOTIFY is not defined. Currently, this is impossible, so what you regard as sufficient would limit this feature to GNU/Linux users and remote files on other GNU/Linux systems. I don't think such a limitation is desirable.
