I think the better course of action may be to implement tail -F, i.e.
-f, --follow[={name|descriptor}]
output appended data as the file grows;
-f, --follow, and --follow=descriptor are
equivalent
-F same as --follow=name --retry
That would be consistent with FreeBSD
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tail&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+9-current&arch=default&format=html)
and GNU tail, gives the whiners the functionality they want and Glenn
the feature isolation he loves :)
