I think that would count as no notification. In any case, that still leaves out the nuke builders and terrorists. Actually, it seems that the terrorists haven't had any problems getting their message out to the world. Nuke builders at the national labs at Los Alamos, Sandia, Lawrence Livermore, etc. are just not allowed to send summaries of changes to the original authors. I can't imagine changelogs like "Changed max-targets to 50 for the new missle design" being allowed out of the fence. Many, many, many companies also have strict secrecy rules. In general, people have many good reasons why they can't send notifications. I think that this falls under the rubric: We understand you have legitimate reasons for this restriction, but we still can't allow it.
