Wouldn't simply turning off flow notifications do? Or, perhaps more flexibly, just making the setting more granular?
I know /I/'d like to be notified of direct replies and pings without having a notification for every update to a thread -- that does seem more suited for a passive watch list.
I want Flow notifications if someone replies to me, or mentions me in a talk post. Or even for everything if that Flow board would happen to be my own talk page for instance. BUT, that is separate from watching a page.
Normally, when watching a page, I would not want notifications on every page that I visit, for every reply to every post, new post or retitled post. I want to see what the last major changes were. Mostly, new topics, and the last change to a new topic.
Currently, I feel like Echo is forcing me to consume Flow discussion, where rather, I only want to be 'subscribed' to them and then consume the subscription at the moment that I feel comfortable doing that. It is like it is mixing my mailbox with my newspaper...
