I agree that an app should not be able to DOS the system. When an app
has many notifications in the queue (i.e. they aren't updates or
appends, they are distinct bubbles that are going to be displayed
sequentially) then we should allow the notifications of other apps to
jump ahead in the queue.

MPT, would you work with Mirco to specify an algorithm for that?
Something like "if there are more than 3 notifications in the queue for
an app, then they are downgraded one notch (i.e. critical to normal,
normal to low). If there are more than 5 notifications from a single app
in the queue, then they are downgraded two notches. And if there are
more than 10 in the queue then any other app notification will go ahead
of them.
