--- Comment #52 from lightside <lightside at gmx.com> ---
Need to note, that I just proposed some changes related to integration of this
PR's proposal for current devel/glib20 port (based on ports r469308 and ports
r473551 changes).

I saw, that PR's reporter also proposed to replace existing gio/kqueue backend
on:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1460

I maybe wrong, but I guess, this may be counterproductive, if consider amount
of other people's work for existing gio/kqueue backend, some of which maybe
against of replacing it for some reason(s). Probably, possible to propose these
changes as an alternative backend, for example as an additional gio's
sub-directory (e.g. there are gio/inotify (see bug #199872, comment #26, where
it was possible), gio/kqueue, etc.). But this may require to adapt it for
existing build system(s). So, other people may test/use this backend, if
needed.
