No, but I give you my opinion. To me, boldly stated, a system which is able to do fs notify events over network filesystems is turning from a dump system into an intelligent one. With Ubuntu people started Unity, also without a killer app, but just with an opinion, an impression, an idea. And anyone can dislike or like it, it's a succes as far as I can see. What the hell is wrong with suggesting things based upon an idea/impression? Stef
