This does seem like an improvement, following the general improvement
in notifications with each release.

However I'm surprised that there is still no mention of a permanent indicator
in the top bar, that notifications are present. This can be achieved with an
extension, but with large changes to notifications happening now, it would
seem like an ideal time to also introduce that change.
If you drill down through the comments at the above URL, you get to this:
