haah ok, your point is "replace status bar with dynamic app-native
notifications", correct?
In that case, interactivity is not asked for, rather automated intelligent
dismissal, i agree.

On the other hand we all know status bars offer interactivity, e.g. clicking
the encryption icon on the bottom right of the browser would open a page
with detailed information..
How is your position on interactivity with application-born notifications
now?
