I can stick the OSD at the position closest to the panel so it never moves as notifications come and go, they would just be positioned above/below the sticky OSD. That's what I'm doing with critical notifications and job progress there and it works well. Changing the sort order to prioritize "OSDs" even more than critical notifications is easy. The OSD will not jump, the notifications that are shifted ouf of the way might move, yes, but I don't think that's gonna be too awful.
  
  
  I consider things with clickable controls (notifications, in this case) jumping to rather be awful, so personally I'd prefer to keep notifications and OSD seperate, as they have separate purposes, lifetime and behaviour. 
  Especially as notifications are something you can only click on (touch or pointer device). It's already not 100% reliable as new notifications can pop in, but I'd like to not make this worse by also moving OSDs in there, if possible.
  
  I prefer the first, more centered approach for that.
