It was you who brought in the topic of home servers when this change was done only on the desktop live image. It is not clear from your reply whether you were already aware of this fact or not.
Yes, in response to "Yes, all critical notifications are supposed to stay persistent. That is the right model to alert desktop users about anything relevant enough to bother them with. Not emails.".
That (notifications) works on a desktop onto which a user log in, but not on a home server, that you do not log in to that often. So that was more a general comment directed to the use of notifications, pointing toward the fact that mails actually has some merit on some kind of systems.
My home server doubles as my home desktop too. I use XFCE live images to do clean installs when I need one.
