But a plugin can be a host, and also the info is useful for things aside
from automation (like undo, as was mentioned).  Anyway, as I just wrote in
another message, I think that the notifications should just be a part of a
smart system where anyone can "tap in" if they want and need to, no need
to make rules about who "shouldn't" be interested in whatever
events/notifications/etc.
