Don't get me wrong, I personally would like such a notification
service. I'm just making a case for making it somehow opt-out, perhaps
at a per-package granularity.
I already use the packdeps service to find out when I should relax my
package's version bounds. Packdeps delivers this information to me via
RSS, which I think this is a great solution - I don't feel under any
pressure to read it but the information is there if I want to have a
look. So ideally what I would like from Hackage 2.0 is a RSS feed that
includes build failure messages, packdeps-like information and perhaps
other stuff -- notification of automated testsuite failures,
milestones reached ("Your edit-distance package has been downloaded
1000 times! Congratulations!" :-)) and new reviews/comments on my
packages (if Hackage ever gets that feature).
