I support your conclusion but not your argument... So, I think a no-notify hint is a fine and good thing, and generally useful. There's lots of use-cases for that, for sure. But, I think your mother should be using DnD, and relying on people with genuine emergencies to use XEP-0224 to "break through" that. Dave.
