Nice, now that someone brought this topic and there will be a new 
setting for disabling all subscription requests, I have some specific 
policies that would help us.

1) Allow to set which domains ax exempt from subscription requests being 
disabled by the user. Not asking to automatically accept them, just that 
if the user decide to disable those requests, the intranet domains on 
that policy would still be able to ask for authorization.

2) We are migrating desktops applications that receive notifications via 
an embedded XMPP client. One of the options we have is to use push 
notifications, but some of those user are on internet blocked 
workstations, so using the Mozilla notifications server isn't an option. 
There exists the preference dom.push.serverURL but this will make all 
notifications go to a custom server.

For small businesses that internet connection is unstable or some of 
it's user would not have full internet access, a new policy that allow 
Mozilla to use another push notification server specific intranet 
domains would be really helpful. This allow intranet applications to be 
fully independent of the Internet, and there is no need to expose the 
internal push notifications server to the Internet for internet sites 
requesting notifications.
