Oh, *HELL*NO*!
It's a fucking disaster in "Oh, one notifier was broken, SO LET'S ADD ANOTHER RANDOM ONE TO FIX THAT".
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and thinking you get a different result. Let's not do that kind of idiotic thing.
Notifiers are evil crap. Let's make *fewer* of them, not add yet-another-random-notifier-for-some-random-reason.
F*ck me, but how I hate those random notifiers. And I hate people who add them willy nilly.
