Sounds horrible. Better, perhaps, would be a notification interface
for interesting events. This should be sufficiently general that it
can be used by most translators. fs_notify.defs does exist, however,
overloading file and directory changes for the root node is certainly
not the right thing to do. pfinet could, however, publish
configuration information ala proc/sys as part of its file system
hierarchy. In this case, a client interested in configuration events
could listen for notification events on some node. (If this design
were followed, pfinet should be changed from a libtrivfs translator to
a libnetfs one.)
