Hi,
It's been over 7 years since the last upstream update and gamin provides nearly all the functions without requiring a daemon and it uses inotify.
As for NFS support, gamin monitors local events so it won't affect users having the home on NFS [1].
I think we shouldn't support dead software and replace fam with gamin.
My thoughts on this subject: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2011-July/020963.html I'd say: drop where possible when native inotify exists, otherwise replace with gamin.
