We are past the UI freeze and closing in on the string freeze at this
point. When is it expected for the notification changes to land? If
they are delayed much longer, the documentation is unlikely to be
updated in time for the release as there are other changes which also
need to be documented and they will take priority as they were made on
time.

From a documentation point of view, I do not think it is appropriate
to make such major changes so late.

Thank you for CCing the docs team, Fred. It is good to be kept in the loop.
