the problem is when we have 10 notifications from one app and 1 from another 
plus a few running jobs.

in general, i agree with the approach you describe, but i think it needs to be 
a bit more involved behind the scenes to ensure a spammy app doesn't take over 
and that the notifications and jobs are sensible.

which is what my looong email reply describes :)
