I know very little about Nova notifications or Ceilometer, so stepping
wildly into the unknown here but... why would a producer spit out
non-useful datapoints? If no-one cares or will ever care, it simply
shouldn't be included.

The problem is knowing what each consumer thinks is interesting and that
isn't something that can be handled by the producer. If Ceilometer is
just a pipeline that has no opinion on what's relevant and what isn't,
that's a special case easily implemented by an identity function.
