Actually that's a good idea for all breakages: once something breaks,
you can make it continue sending the alerts -- and the way to get rid
of them is to either fix it, or if it's expected, then record it on an
svn property.  And for even greater convenience (both for committers
and for you as the one who will need to fix things up) -- don't tell
people what to set, but make the web interface do that instead.  This
approach does make the properties strategy work out nicely.
