Comment (by netweb):

 By building a ''Notifications API'' a new ''Notification Center'' can
 harness all that goodness the API would offer.

 For instance, myself personally I don't want any emails nor do I want any
 notifications within the WordPress dashboard, I'd like all my
 notifications delivered into Slack, others might want their notifications
 delivered into HipChat, Discord or via bot into Twitter or Messenger.

 By having that flexibility by way of a new Notifications API I can turn
 off all notifications in the WordPress Dashboard, I could turn off the
 entire ''Notification Center'' even, personally, I've no use for
 notifications inside of WordPress myself.

 The Notifications API feature project is far from an ''email API'' it is a
 new API to facilitate and enable multiple notification types within
 WordPress, as part of maintaining backward compatibility in the new API it
 would include a notification route using `wp_mail()`, any other routes
 such as a route to the ''WordPress admin area'' would be added to core on
 a case by case basis, which is what would be required for a ''Notification
 Center'' anyway,  whereas routes to Slack, HipChat, Twitter, Messenger etc
 would be plugin territory.
