    Yes, the notification area is going to be removed in 11.04. From the Canonical Design blog:

    Our roadmap is that in Ubuntu 11.04, one year from now, there will be no notification area. And in Ubuntu Netbook Edition, we’ll remove it even earlier, in 10.10. So if you develop an application that uses the notification area, and you want the millions of Ubuntu users to be able to use it, now is the time to change it.

    More information on the transition is available here.
