Re: [Ayatana] Farewell to the notification area

[Shane Fagan <shanepatrickfagan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey mpt,

I think the target is far enough but I wouldnt like to remove it from
the default install until upstreams adopt the new spec fully. Which will
take a long enough time. I think remove it cold turkey from the next LTS
release just to give it fair warning to universe app
developers/maintainers to patch their apps accordingly.
