A feature to consider for efs, though I don't know whether I necessarily
like it.

One recent change in Dired is that it handles changes on disk the same
way C-x C-f does: if it sees that the directory has changed, it asks the
user whether to read in the new contents.

Please try using Dired for a while, and then answer a couple of
questions for me:

* Do you notice this feature much?

* Do you like this feature or dislike it, or not care?
