So I talked to Design about this, and the main answer that I got is that
all of this is up in the air pending the new notifications Design that's
coming in January.

In revision 391 of the proposed branch, I've changed calendar event
handling s.t. they once again require a snap decision, but do not have
haptic feedback and only play the sound once rather than looping.

This is an attempt to find a good middle ground between bug #1401802's
complaint "calendar event notifications are too intrusive" and this bug
which says the revised ones are too easy to miss :-)

Saviq, also if snooze isn't working for you please file a separate bug
report and I'll take a look.

Title:
  Calendar reminder notifications became queued, non-interactive and
  easy to miss

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  With the recent indicator-datetime update the reminder notifications time out and are not interactive any more, meaning that:
  - can't dismiss (have to wait for the sound/notification to time out)
  - can't snooze (I know the feature didn't work, but that was a missing feature, not a thing we didn't want?)
  - if you missed the notification, you missed the reminder

  Not sure if the reason is the same, but they started queueing, too,
  i.e. if there's two reminders for the same time, sound will play for
  both (bug #1340248), but the two notifications will be shown one after
  another.

  This is a UX regression in my opinion, even if it fixes bug #1320880.

  There is actually no clear design for this, I'm afraid,
