I wanted that to be a clean email, without clutter.
I see two downsides to this.

1 - More Fedora resources (hardware and admins) used.
2 - More "ELN Spam" and this time to people who likely aren't Red Hat
employees and/or maintaining a Fedora package in their own time.  To
me, this is the biggest downside.
