Scanty amount of info that users want to see there. Don't you want to

You didn't read comments under that boxes on the create page.
"Sends a carbon-copy of this update to a comma-delimited list of email 
addresses. These people _will receive future_ updates." Create page 
allow you to add watchers Cc and AdminCc and it's differ from other 
recipients.

IMHO this comments are really bad and confusing, cause it depends on 
scrip sets would that users be notified or not.

This behaviour is there for ages since 3.0.1 and all flames on this end 
up when users understand how it works. After that they just live with 
it. Send bug reports(patches is better) to rt-bugs@ about this :)
