Mentioning only "FS monitor" is insufficient (it would merely frustrate those with FS monitor that is not watchman, after they waste more time to find out that we only do watchman right now). Mentioning only "Watchman" *is* sufficient, though. Mentioning both would be ideal, i.e. e.g. "We now have a generic mechanism to talk to FS monitors to optimize checks of working tree files, and this version of Git can talk to Watchman using the mechanism". And that is what Yashi's suggestion did, if I am not mistaken.
