I think there is a minor disconnect here; when Gord talks about tailoring to a specific audience, there seems to be a jump to the conclusion that the audience must be ceilometer. I think Gord is instead suggesting what you could think of as an audience *class*—this notification is intended for metrics consumers, this one is intended for log monitors, etc. That kind of data could be included in the actual notification, so you still have a single notification stream.
