Comment:

 Email notification is a WP core feature when multisite is enabled.

 In any case, email activation is the only thing preventing massive amounts
 of spam signups on any BP or WP Network installation. It's not the kind of
 thing we want to encourage people to turn off.

 That said, I would be willing to consider a patch that introduces a filter
 of some sort, so that other kinds of registration spam blocking plugins
 (captchas, for example) could have the option of disabling activation
 emails.

 It's way too late for anything this version, but a patch for the next
 feature release would be considered.
