This does work (tried it on emacs-25.0.95).
I prefer just setting auto-revert-use-notify to nil, however, since we'd never be using auto-revert on locally mounted files anyways. But thanks for mentioning the alternative.
What also works is the configuration switch that we recently discovered (and have used to build 25.1-rc1/-rc2): "--with-file-notification=no".
I'm not sure I understand the preference for using a file notification utility by default for auto-revert when that utility only works on locally mounted files. I haven't worked in an environment where our storage has been locally mounted in decades, and I've never had a reason to use auto-revert at home.
Thanks,
Dan
