I agree that there is no real need for it to be immediate, but in most
cases I can't see a good reason for it not being. In this case where a
lot of votes have been stricken at once it might be a good idea to
keep quiet for a few hours, maybe a day, to check there wasn't a big
mistake made which would result in hundreds of identical complaints
being received if emails were sent out, but for one-offs like
sockpuppeting, the notification should probably just be sent
immediately.
