Subject: post-push emails useless?

Hello,

I'd like to do a poll:
do you think the post-push emails (automatically sent to
commits@stripped when you do "bzr push") should be disabled
for Server trees?

I wasn't involved when they were implemented in our mysql_plugins bzr
plugin.
To me they are useless, I never look at mine or others'. I find
that generating them takes a lot of time when pushing a big
merge, and anyway big merge means big mail which commits@lists rejects
due to a size limit.
They don't work with "bzr push --overwrite" (produce an error).
We didn't have them when we used BitKeeper.

If we want to disable them, it means removing the post_push_to line
from .bzr-mysql/default.conf in main and/or team trees.

Opinions, anyone?

Thank you.
