Yes, the reason is portability. I want the same API to be available on Linux,
*BSD, OS X and Windows. inotify is the most advanced API and therefore I can
not support every inotify feature if I want to stay compatible.
Porting to kqueue (*BSD, OS X) will be especially troublesome because they
don't seem to tell you which file actually changed if you watch a directory.
