Removing 'easy'; new Echo notifications are apparently very hard.
Comment 2 Jared Zimmerman (WMF) 2014-05-11 12:10:10 UTC
@James, talked to Quim/Yuvi/TheDJ and there has been a bunch of community members wanting to build echo notifications, Quim asked me to create all the ones we needed so that he could help pair community developers up with them

Sounds good!

These bugs should probably note somewhere that there's still on-going discussion about whether we want to do these at all. Lots of people are worried about over-whelming the Notifications drawer into something filled with notes about software, especially for inactive/semi-active users who come back after two months to find five mysterious notes.

I wouldn't say "very hard", but it's definitely not easy ;)
