That design decision no longer makes sense. Messages are no longer
sacrosanct;

It appears from the responses you have received that a number of people do consider all messages to be sacrosanct. Not too many people want to wade through the volume of messages today, but many people do value them as an audit trail.

I think you need to ensure that the current behavior remains available as an option. Perhaps it would be good to initially make the current behavior the default and then switch the default later, as has been done for various other items such as ALLOWUSERKEYCSA and REUSASID.
