i don't have a problem with it but i'll be honest, the definition file 
and yaml->python object code is tailored to an extent to "normalise 
notification into Ceilometer data models" use case.

we did plan on making Ceilometer notification agent more generic where 
it's essentially just a notification listener and you can enable 
different plugins to convert to meters or events where as right now they 
are both pretty much baked in and always on. maybe this generalisation 
can be tied into what you are tryin to do.
