Reading this - I'm not sure all Fedora notifications should go through system 
notification system. Why? I understand it for urgent/priority notification like 
"Close your desktop, nuclear war out there" (or just a security update combined 
with some steps how to fix it). But I hope it should work for a lot of things 
like Fedora elections etc. - this should for example go to your calendar, some 
tips how to use Fedora (just a RSS feed like Plasma widget?) etc.
