The above message contained the following:

You see that message because the notifyme(1) utility has not yet been
modified to use LDM-6 protocols. Such a modification is low-priority
because
1) The LDM-6 is completely backward-compatible with all the LDM-5
utilities (including notifyme(1));
2) The notifyme(1) utility is used only transiently; and
3) The input feed to a notifyme(1) process consists of metadata
only and, hence, is very small compared to an actual data feed.
I'll eventually get around to porting all the LDM utilities to the LDM-6
protocol suite.
