I think there are some areas where some of the good ideas from notfiy-osd could be the basis for enhancements to plasma notifications (as an example, I like the idea of grouping notifications from the same app to deal with flooding - in 4.2, plasma notifications don't do that), but I can't imagine in Kubuntu there would be much interest in replacing plasma notifications with some third party system.
