As of 1.27.0-wmf.22 (deployed to WMF wikis April 26-28) and MediaWiki 
release 1.27 (specifically, this change 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rECHOb10bd700333d2eef10c7df0a9946b87fd451f81b> 
in Echo), meta=notifications will return its result as an array rather 
than an object.

Previously, the meta=notifications output looked like:

{
     "query":  {
         "notifications":  {
             "list":  {
                 "12345": {
                     "id":  "12345",
                     "type":  "edit-user-talk",
                     ...
                 },                  ...
             }

Now, it looks like:

{
     "query":  {
         "notifications":  {
             "list":  [
                 {
                     "id":  "12345",
                     "type":  "edit-user-talk",
                     ...
                 },                  ...
             ]

My apologies for the late announcement, and thanks to APerson and Cienca 
Al Poder for noticing <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138690> and
