Technically registries cannot be sending a poll message. They can however
put this in their message queue, which can then be fetched by each registrar
by polling for the message queue - just as for transfers

Offcourse this will have no effect on the ccTLD Registries. So if a .de
child nameserver changes there is no way for me to come to know and make the
change to the domains I sponsor that use the older .de child nameserver. I
guess we can extend this step by step and probably involve the ccnso to have
ccTLDs atleast publish a downloadable list of nameserver changes somewhere.

In the end however for those ccTLDs that do not publish anything, it is upto
the Registrant to make the change when their site stops working and then
yell at their hosting company for not intimating them about the change :)
