 * Hello,
 * a WordPress user since a few years I am increasingly annoyed by plugin & theme
   notifications which keep popping up no matter how often I dismiss them (if I 
   can at all). Currently half my screen is taken by those notifications and they
   pop up whenever I do something in the admin interface. I am currently doing a
   lot of work in the backend – that means clicking them away every few minutes 
   to free screen space. I have cookies enabled and I whitelisted my website but
   both doesn’t make a difference.
 * I have seen that there are plugins available to remove notifications effectively,
   but having a big bunch of active plugins already I don’t want to add one more
   to the list.
 * Suggestion: please you find a way to stop plugin and theme developers misusing
   the admin notifications for sales, recommendations etc. . Also please create 
   a dismiss function which earns its name so that dismissed notifications don’t
   come back within minutes.
 * I feel bad about complaining as I understand the entire wordpress development
   is done by volunteers in their spare time. Thanks for all your work and thanks
   for providing this fantastic CMS free of charge!
