(Get the code!)
It's not about providing the use case, it's more about providing third party application ON TOP of Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes standard with 5 seconds time-out for notify-osd. That's fine. We are not complaining what Ubuntu does with its standard base. What we want is the ability to have our application be able to adjust the timeout value. So instead of distributing our application with a NEW notify-osd, we can leverage notify-osd that comes with Ubuntu standard base.
When writing core, it should provide developers flexibility to override methods. With this inflexibility, writing third party application for Ubuntu will be a chore.
