I guess I don't see how it fails to account for changes by others.  If
you connect to a file server, you're either running its cpurc or
termrc (well, barring the case of cross-authentication-domain mounts)
or connecting to processes that run its /lib/namespace* files (e.g.,
drawterm).

Thinking about it some more, on a busy file server, you're probably
going to want to limit the volume of data you have to read to see the
changes to the files you care about, which suggests a watcher process
feeding each client only the changes they care about.
