[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox 06/27] notify: let a matcher always match if it has no matching directives

[Lukas Wagner]

This should be a bit more intuitive to users than the current
behavior, which is 'always match' for mode==all and 'never match' for
mode==any. The current behavior originates in the neutral element of
the underlying logical operation (and, or).
