OK, so how do you suggest changing it?

All the community members who clamored for the return of the Orange Bar of Death seem to disagree with you.
You use the past tense. I *still* clamor for the Orange Bar of Death. When I leave someone a message on a talk page, chances are very good that message is something along the lines of "if you do that again, your account will be blocked until you agree to stop". I want to be certain that the message has been seen before proceeding to the obvious next step.
To me, the answer is obvious: pull messaging out of echo, and summarize notifications on echo for the remaining notifications (i.e. if a notification for a given page is already sitting unread, don't bump the number, and replace the message with "x AND y have happened on z". For messages, give us back the OBOD.
