For a single watcher, a simple timeout would surely have the same effect. But if there
would be a watcher
grouping feature (as you indicated), watching groups of watchers could provide a new
dimension of
flexibility. Not that I looked for that, but now that you foretold it it seems to be
interesting.
On the other hand, as I expressed before, introducing a group feature could (from my
point of view) imply
new difficulties. Could a watcher belong to more than exactly one group, for example?
So I do not request
this feature. All I say is that IF it would be there I could really imagine ways to
use it like "if in a
certain period of time not at least ONE of these grouped events occured, it's really
time to do this or
that".
