 Replying to [comment:1 johnbillion]:
 > Here's a doc I created which lists all of the instances where WordPress
 sends an email, and the related hooks and filters:
 https://gist.github.com/johnbillion/0a48021de5510c41d517 . These would
 need to be taken into account for backwards compatibility.

 This is a useful list that clearly shows the inconsistent approach to how
 emails are filtered and sent. Using filters to disable actions should not,
 IMO, be the best approach.

 My proposal, I believe, leaves everything in place so backward
 compatibility is assured.

 It simply introduces a specific hook per email which can be left alone for
 everything to stay as is, removed to disable the message, or replaced for
 developers to do with as they wish.
