To test the new notifications?  I'm sure we can.  Just tell me which
image we can promote for the testing.  (gnome continuous or some other
one)  I can help plan some media strategy to get people to test it

My only problem is that once integrated, you'd be breaking your own UI
freeze if designers/florian end up making UI changes in response to
community feedback or will you push those changes in following
releases?

That's fair.  If it doesn't match our quality standards, then it
should be punted to the next release.
