Maybe I will add locking information as well. I see that the
/proc/locks file can be monitored as well.

To me, information is very valuable.  It would be very nice (yes my
opinion) to have information about a file on a nfs (or cifs) share
about it lockstatus, and by who, and get notified when it's unlocked.

And no nobody asked me to do so.
