I am not going to add notification area back _by_default_. This is consistent with what other desktops do:

- Plasma 5 and Unity do not support X11 system tray at all.
- Mainstream GNOME is discouraging use of X11 tray and moving it to a place that is difficult to reach.

... and with what toolkits do:

- Qt 5.5 supports Ubuntu's indicators by default. For Qt 5.4, this functionality is available in appmenu-qt5.
- Gtk+ deprecated GtkStatusIcon in 3.14 and is encouraging use of platform-specific tray mechanisms (which will be indicators in our case).

If you want the X11 notifications area, it is not gone and available for adding to the panel out of the box.
