The whole-filesystem mode is certainly the most interesting fanotify feature, and the lack of it the greatest weakness of inotify - but API-wise, it could have been implemented as a new "mask" flag in inotify_add_watch() with no extra API complexity. That still doesn't justify the huge complexity of fanotify.
