There is a perfectly servicable means of doing this already with
filters. Setting a user_default and node_default input and output filter
will allow sysops to do exactly what they want.

Users can already switch off announces using the unset/announce command.

I will think about the consequences of a global switch, but want to be
clear in my mind what that is to do and how (and if) it should (or will)
affect traffic going the node.
