It was my understanding that messages that don't include a proper
topic end up being sent to everyone. So you can use topics to
"actively ignore stuff that has been marked [Nova]", rather than "only
receive [baremetal] stuff".

I personally prefer to receive everything and do filtering client-side
too. Topics are just an additional option, I guess.
