You should probably disable flapping detection instead of disabling
flapping notifications.

Back in time when I was using flapping (it was enabled in the first
Nagios server I got my hands on) I always had the feeling it caused more
trouble than the problem it solved.

I guess it might be very useful on network-only monitoring where you
want to know when a link is flapping without causing alerts, and will
have staff on it as soon as an alert (incl flapping) comes in.
