By 'work', do you mean receiving notification about changes made by the same
machine or another machine? As far as I know, the NFS protocol has no means of
propagating notifications, in contrast to SMB.

That is a possibility, although I'm generally not too fond of user-adjustable
behaviour of this sort. If I understand you right, you propose that the default
value should be 'always poll'?
I would prefer the default to be 'avoid polling' -- I doubt that malfunctions
will be common or serious if they occur -- but I suppose it is better than the
status quo.
