I would ignore them (in the sense of not sending notifications). We'll
have a bit less of "noise" and I don't think it matters much either

act on them anyway.)

Otherwise, the proposal looks very good. In particular, I think we
should design our policies to be similar where possible, and your
change goes in that direction.
