I guess I should have put a :-) on that comment.  :-)

No.  I hope that unsolicited notifications would be minimal under
usual conditions.  The only time I could think that a client
could get overwhelmed is that if it enabled some feature which
caused lots of unsolicited notifications (such as enabling
some sort of monitoring) to be sent.  Of course, clients enabling
such features should be expecting the notifications.  Also, note,
with the introduction of ExtendedPartialResponse, such (ab)uses
of unsolicited notification might never be created.

Not that I am aware of.
