"Our hope is that message tray will further reduce the need to
switch windows - that you won't need to switch windows because a new
message came in, or your music player shuffled to a track you don't
like. You'll only need to switch windows if you decide to do something
different."

"The message tray is meant to be self-introducing, because it pops up by
itself when something comes in. So hopefully, going back to the bottom
of the screen will be natural to users; they'll pick up the idea that
"messages are at the bottom""

Ubuntu nailed it with having messages in the top right, along with the whole user activity/switcher part. Instead of working on a whole new part on the bottom of the screen teams should be working together.

For the same reason gnome-shell has a top bar instead of a bottom bar like windows, the message tray shouldn't be at the bottom.
