I support this change, it's a great next step on the design work I put into https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/**r/#/c/17605/https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/17605/ and seems to be very clever in the way it handles multiple messages.
That said, it's a pretty big change to an area of code that Timo (Krinkle) has been working on a lot, and he's just left on vacation for a week, so I am hesitant to merge it without some more scrutiny.
So, if you feel up to scrutinizing, please do.

A little while ago Trevor Parscal changed our jsMessage setup to be a floating auto-hiding notification bubble. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/**r/#/c/17605/https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/17605/
The end implementation felt half-baked to me. Since it just swapped text for notification replacement. And didn't support multiple notifications. It even reused the same id as the previous message which was pretty much a completely different concept.
So I spent a night implementing a fully featured notification bubble system. Something that should work for watchlists, VisualEditor, and perhaps some other things like LQT, and perhaps anything we want to start making more dynamic. Same goes for anyone with a good Gadget idea that could use better notifications.
Here's a demo video of the new notification system: https://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/File:Mw-notification.ogvhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Mw-notification.ogv
