Niels, it will be done anyways (I mean, if not by us then by someone else, 
in fact it has been), as much as I agree with your general notion. But I'd 
rather have it under our control, so that we can make it as sane as 
possible. Some useful situations for the feature were pointed out. The 
thing is you are fighting windmills. By not providing the feature, you will 
likely not get the reaction "ah what a relieve, Haiku doesn't have these 
bothersome notifications". I mean you will likely not educate the users, 
they (some, many?) will simply miss a feature. *Everyone* here agreed that 
it can be annoying. But the level at which it is annoying is different for 
everyone. So the obvious solution is to provide the user a way to define 
the level (which btw I have searched for in Window, but frustratingly have 
not found). We can still make a point by choosing the default setting to be 
"critical" or something. I hope you can see this as a compromise.

Best regards,
