I feel that our current knob oslo_messaging_notifications.driver = noop is enough to turn off the notifications. But I agree that this needs to be documented a bit better in the notification dev ref and in the description of the notification_format config option.
@Matt (comments#3): Actually nova skips the expensive part of the versioned payload generation if the driver is set to 'noop' [1][2]. So I think we are OK to just document the possible config a bit better.
