Not to mention that you force code that's no-where NEAR complete down the
pipes to people who expect a release to have pretty proven code.

I will not "wait" for developers to finish, that's what the dev-cycle of
this release was for. They should have offered this replacement as
experimental and an optional install if they wanted a "break" from
criticism.

Also, your argument that programs overuse libnotify is mind boggling...
The programs that use libnotify wouldn't use libnotify if their users didn't
want it to use libnotify. Just like your argument for this new feature...
The users who don't like this new notification system can use another one.

I'd just like to point out though... that the users of ubuntu will no longer
use ubuntu if they no longer like ubuntu.
