I don't feel strongly about it, but I kind of see Andre's point.

If we can allow a certain type of usage without damaging consequences
for the rest of the operations, why not? Wouldn't it simplify the
notification mechanism too?

Food for thought:

I think it would be interesting to investigate whether FEs would
notice if they started receiving those extra notifications. I hope
the processing would be fast enough that they wouldn't.

One other possible option: Add a new option that would be available
to all commands to disable notifications related to the command being
executed. That way, FE could use it to reduce unnecessary back-chatter.
I don't really like that option, though, as it would require a certain
transition period.
