I'd like to share some use cases for job notifications (not
specifically health jobs):

* As a user or an admin, I want to know the lab health
I can subscribe to notifications (rss feed or e-mail) from
http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/labhealth/

* As a user, I want to get my job results
I can subscribe to my notifications in my profile

In general people care but they have to know the job id they're
looking for and monitor the job. It can take time to get a slot in the
queue and also to run the tests themselves. Receiving notifications is
a huge step forward for the users (at least me).
