On the one hand, yes, they're about things most readers can't do anything 
about.

On the other hand, they do let you know (once the tinderbox has stabilized, 
this being a new setup with the bugs being worked out of it) whether recent 
-STABLE will build or not, which can be quite useful even for ordinary users 
of -STABLE.  (You know to hold off on updating if it's failing for your 
platform(s).)

Mail filters exist for a reason; use them.
