I think the key here would be that you could turn off the notification if you wanted. With our current setup, the notice is displayed continuously with no option to hide it, and it takes up a relatively large amount of screen real estate. If we are going to show the notification for longer, we would need a way to make it more discreet and/or an option to hide it. Something like the "edge" site notification might be appropriate...
