I'm also with Frederik on this one - I wouldn't want a notification
application to keep emailing me about what people are doing halfway
through a changeset - therefore, it would be better to know when
changesets are done and dusted.

Which was one of the main driving points behind changesets - they are
the foundation for some proposed anti-vandalism work ("monitoring and
rollback" was the project moniker), as well as the db efficiency stuff
Matt referred to.

Cheers,
Andy
