I don't see why the hatred for this, those that call ahead will still call ahead because that's what they do (I agree it's the right thing as well) those that don't will have a second chance if they check NOTAMs, this will help stop those who try to get fuel and arrive to find it isn't available from getting there in the first place and possibly then deciding to push on somewhere nearby without quite enough fuel to get more.

Also these NOTAMs will also be available for ATC I assume? "ABC, just received a NOTAM that fuel has become unavailable at your landing aerodrome", "ABC, copy your diversion due fuel, FYI fuel not available at your new diversion according to NOTAM just issued". Lots of good can come out of this and no real negative. No extra responsibilties on the Refueler, Pilot or anyone else but extra opportunity for situations to be caught before they become situations potentially.
