I propose:
1) The safest thing that allows to build incrementally for now is 'Ive
read this > Remove it'
2 ) In addition to this we could support a clear all new from the flyout
so a user doesn't have to dismiss one at a time.
This still leaves us with the problem of cross linking notification which
may be large in volume > we could make that an 'opt in'
Dismissing entire categories needs more fine tuning.
Other than cross links, so far we dont have enough evidence that users
will want to switch entire categories off.
Users will want to unfollow specific things > Articles > Discussions etc.
We need more time and back end support to figure that out.

seem worth dismissing all of the type - might be interesting to get more.
But once they get twenty in the next day, then it would probably sink in
that okay, this is really annoying. But where did the option go? Wasnt
there an option?
If anything it might lead them away from their preferences because their
preferences are not where they saw the option initially.

You can still disable the notification category in Special:Preferences .
It may be worthwhile to keep the main Echo interface (not preferences)
simpler if they choose not to disable the category the first time.
