This isn't something that exists today (being able to 'ping'), is it?

I think I must have missed the tag thing too, what would that look like
in a package definition?

More generally, this sounds like it requires significant reworking of
system functionality. What happens when it's upstream stuff - would we
have to rewrite all that stuff too to be able to get an SMF "ping" and
scan a directory for new/removed files?
