On rejection letters...
Someone asks why committees don't send out rejection letters or e-mails...
I wonder why programs don't have some kind of process meeter on their websites.
When they acknowledge your application, they can include a URL -- then they can simply give an indication as to where they are in the process... It could start with something like "interviews scheduled", then "interviews concluded, committee making a decision", then "position filled". There are other kinds of updates -- but, these are the basics...
Once you know you haven't been contacted for interviews, you'd know you don't need to check again....

In my department, it would mean someone would have to do the on-line work. So, the committee would have to find the mystical IT person who's responsible for updating our web stuff. And then we'd have to remember to contact the person, and somehow inspire the person that our updates were more important than all the other things, and blah blah. Here, at least, it would involve a lot of extra hassle.
