Great work, Thorsten

Wonderful work. We've built something similar inside our BusinessPress plugin (also manages updates, exposes hidden preferences & reduces WordPress branding). It would be great to join forces in fighting evil admin plugin notifications. Keep up the great work making WordPress the publisher-friendly CMS it deserves to be. Alec

Thank you, Dobby!

Every time I see Dobby instead of clutter, I briefly smile inside. House elves are great.
