This appears to be appending an unexpected (because it introduces an unused flag)
change without motivation as an afterthought.

How about:
Add RFTYPE_MON_BASE that will be used in a later patch. RFTYPE_MON_BASE
complements existing RFTYPE_CTRL_BASE and represents files
belonging to monitoring groups.

Feel free to improve.
