Good idea! I've done the same for both update and distnoted. If anything bad does happen, we can simply toggle them back on in single-user mode.

For what it's worth, I've found some information from Apple. It's basically just a brief, human-readable version of what the man page says.

From Developer Connection: The Boot Process:

update: Periodically flushes the file-system cache to help prevent data loss in the event of a crash.
I've found practically nothing useful from anywhere online about distnoted.
