PET already has its own implementation that supports watch files. Or are you talking about something different? Although current version 3 watch files are enough for many packages, they are indeed very limited; but that can easily be fixed by introducing a version 4 format which includes all the suggestions that need a version bump. JFTR: I'm not totally convinced about get-orig-source or watch files being APIs, it is a strong word for such a vague things.
