IDK how it was in 2006 when this stupid decision was made, but nowadays 
`smartd` has all the needed filtering features in itself, in a case someone 
gets "annoyed" by attribute changes. Yeah, sure, it "can send warning mails", 
but by default only in a case of attribute FAILURE, and some Old-age related 
attributes NEVER fail (like Power-On Hours on WD, which counts down to 1 and 
just sits happily there, never getting to "failing" 0). In such cases at least 
seeing them changing (or not) is useful. Overall, it's not the place for a 
*maintainer* to decide (instead of a user) which events of a third-party 
package are annoying and which are not.
