This has been dragged through various long discussions and has been
elevated to the CTC multiple times.
As noted in
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7455#issuecomment-228961530,
while this API is still generally considered an anti-pattern, there are
still use-cases it is best suited for, such as checking if a git rebase
is in progress by looking if ".git/rebase-apply/rebasing" exists.
The general consensus is to undeprecate just the sync version, given
that the async version still has the "arguments order inconsistency"
problem.
The consensus at the two last CTC meetings this came up at was also
to undeprecate existsSync() but keep exists() deprecated.

On Linux and OS X systems, `fs.watch()` resolves the watched path to an
inode. This clarifies that `fs.watch()` watches the inode and not the
path. If the inode of the path subsequently changes, `fs.watch()` will
continue watching the original inode and events for the path will no
longer be emitted. This is expected behavior.
