Comment:

 The attached patch covers one of the wp_mail calls in core - it serves to
 demonstrate
 * Back-compat is covered, it does the same thing when left alone.
 * The default action can be adjusted using the pre-existing filters
 * The action could be removed, preventing the `wp_mail` call and remove
 the need for any of the numerous hacks out there to stop mails being sent
 by WordPress.
 * The action can be replaced - giving a developer complete freedom to use
 `wp_mail` (primarily or as a fallback), or any number of third-party email
 services (e.g. SMTP or API), or even just to a log file for development
 purposes.

 I will patch the rest of the calls to wp_mail if this is something that
 can be committed.

 I'd love to hear any other ideas that give both, full back-compat and
 total freedom to developers to send emails how they want.
