I do not think "none" is too useful in this context and could even cause
confusion. Shouldn't every system that is not included in the list
automatically be not affected?

What would be the consequence of having "none" there? In my opinion this
then requires the registry to list each system in every maintenance
notification. Otherwise one might wonder what is the difference between,
e.g.,

<maint:name>Whois</maint:name>
<maint:host>whois.registry.example</maint:host>
<maint:impact>none</maint:impact>

and just omitting the Whois entry.

I think in e-mails from the registry it can make sense to add something
like "DNS is not affected by our maintenance" to put the reading
registrar at ease, but in an automated notification I do not see the
value. If it's not mentioned, it's not affected.

Best regards,

Michael
