I spend a lot of effort on noise reduction. Turning off alerts, reducing the size of (especially redundant) messages I don't really need to see—that kind of stuff.
It's REALLY disruptive when software I use decides to get rid of those filters. Like not even just turning the noise back on, but fully removing my ability to even filter things.
I regularly mourn the wonderful period of time when software worked for us. (This *is* open source, but maintaining a fork is more work than I want to do.)

@sean I disable most notifications on my phone, or put them in the "silent" category so they show up in the notification scroll, but not as an alert. Pet peeve is when an app update changes those to "loud" or introduces new notification categories that default to it.
