Hi Anatol,

Definitely didn't consider it evil, don't worry :-)

Suggestions:
- Make these opt-in so that folks choose to enable them.
- Have new packages present this option to users when they create them (and
by all means, default to "on" in that form)
- Only send actionable email (eg: transitions between OK and broken)
- Only send one email with a summary, or a link to a page with the summary,
rather than one per build permutation

High signal:noise ratio is important and valuable!

Thanks,

--Wez.
