That makes sense for notifications, but I'm not sure it works for all other packages.  general-comments isn't required by anything (as far as I know) but it can be optionally installed and used.  So IMHO we shouldn't make it too hard for the site admin to do that.

Personally, speaking as a developer, the distinction between applications and services has always annoyed me. If I need to watch a file in a service it requires an extra page load to get there in the APM.  Maybe we could have a "developer mode" that would show all packages on one page?

Speaking of watching files...

A week or so back, I updated a dev instance to HEAD and noticed that (at least) one package was automatically watching all files. I don't recall the package, but I didn't do anything to cause this to happen. This phenomenon continued across service restarts also.

Is there a new *static* setting that was added to get this behavior?
