When the devel@ mega thread appeared in July, was the first time inyears I went to look for these messages. And I found a pile of utterly useless crap being generated; and without notification, or a good reason for them to be generated in the first place. I'm glad it's gone by default.
I can't say that what I see in my logwatch mail is useless...
Notifications that a mailbox is over quota. Notifications that a hard drive / partition is too full. Just to name two of them.
Other things that are useful daily information for an admin, where I get to pick which username is the admin. But, not really good information to pop up on the desktop as a warning to whoever's logged in at the moment. Most users wouldn't know what to do about them, or shouldn't be allowed to attempt to do something about them. Perhaps with the exception that they should clear out their own mailbox, instead of leave everything in the inbox.
