:Well, they fixed the notice bugs and re-implemented a small orange bar after much complains. See Wikipedia talk:Notifications and Wikipedia:Notifications for info about that specific issue. The petition I link at the top of my page is not just about how they introduced the new notification, it was just a starter for those kind of changes in general. Now that the notification change was changed and debugged I don't have much of a  problem with it either but it was a problem for about a week and there are other constant changes that are screwed up while not every editor is aware of or affected. Believe me, if you were affected and would've problems editing b/c of such (usually unannounced) changes you'd be, quite frankly, pissed off like many affected users. But of course it's fine if you're not interested in that petition; It's everybody's freedom to have their own opinion. Whatever works.
