Any chance then you could call that category "bts-dak" or something, and
at least make it something one could opt out from separately from the
other stuff? Perhaps the dak maintainer could cooperate to make this
less painful to code? I don't want to unsubscribe from the current
"bts", I just want to avoid getting large amounts of completely
predictable messages.

I know how to filter my mail, but I'm troubled by the approach to defer
the issue to the users instead of adapting an existing mechanism (the
pts keywords) to make it go away entirely.
