It makes more sense with scheduled scans, but maybe it is also desirable
with normal scans to reduce the amount of scan results traffic?

At least if we consider the intermediate scan results that Victor has
been working on... We may want to report all scan results at the end,
but only send intermediate events if all the matches are satisfied, for
example.

Just thinking out loud a bit.
