Many clients already support this, but they throw the messages out at the
client level, not the server -- ideally we'd have a robust filtering
mechanism on the server that would send this stuff to /dev/null before
even attempting to send them to the client (although then of course we've
got a lot of processing going on at the server, which might cause a
significant performance hit).
