What's inotify_wait?  I know of userland piece of garbage called inotifywait
(sans underscore); if that's what you had in mind, rest easy - it's not
broken any more than anything idiotify-related had always been.  It never
worked on any number of filesystems and it never will, etc., but those are
inherent limitation of that piece of crap concept, not something that had
been changed lately.
