Just as a counterpoint, I do like my notification e-mails.  Push
notification in case I do need to care, and *only then*.

And I totally dislike having to actually look into some sort of
portal / web UI "is there anything I should be aware of?", because
this sort of polling is eating brain cycles for no good.

(Having a good audit trail is fine, in case I know I'm looking for
something - but I do just want to see "something under my administration
has changed", in case I do not yet know I should be looking)
