So, I'd *love* to get an email when my packages fail to build, but I will accept that other people have a more sensitive relationship with their inbox. (I assume that the people who raise this objection - Max and Yitzchak - belong in this category?
Don't get me wrong, I personally would like such a notification service. I'm just making a case for making it somehow opt-out, perhaps at a per-package granularity. I already use the packdeps service to find out when I should relax my package's version bounds. Packdeps delivers this information to me via RSS, which I think this is a great solution - I don't feel under any pressure to read it but the information is there if I want to have a look. So ideally what I would like from Hackage 2.0 is a RSS feed that includes build failure messages, packdeps-like information and perhaps other stuff -- notification of automated testsuite failures, milestones reached ("Your edit-distance package has been downloaded 1000 times! Congratulations!" :-)) and new reviews/comments on my packages (if Hackage ever gets that feature). Max
