Hi Gibi!

I don't believe there is a notification currently sent when a service is 
disabled. I agree this would be a good (and pretty easy) addition to Nova.

Please feel free to add a blueprint in Launchpad. I don't see this as 
needing a full spec, really. It shouldn't be more than a few lines of 
code to send a new notification message.

Best,
