Hey! I am really sorry for this, but I'd like to request another freeze break for GNOME Shell. As you may know, notifications in the message tray now spot a small close button, which may be used to dismiss the notification. While we managed to match the mockups pretty well, the designers did not agree at all with the implemented behavior of the button once they actually were able to try the code[0] - which was fairly late unfortunately. Yesterday we finally managed to land the requested changes to master, but unless we push out a 3.6.2 release including those, we will give users six months to become accustomed to the "wrong" behavior, making the change far more painful than necessary. I have done a quick check on the documentation, it does not look like either behavior is currently documented; in terms of code, the changes are very small and unintrusive. So my only concern is really to irritate users by pushing a change like this in a stable series, which is of course far from ideal. Still, I believe it will be much more disruptive at a later point, so including it in a 3.6.2 release constitutes the lesser evil in my opinion.
