I love the new notifications menu — huge jump in practical productivity! — but am not yet ready to enable the sidebar menu.\[1\] It appears that these are currently enabled by the same switch.

Could we please have a switch to enable _just_ the new notifications menu?

Thank you!

1. I’ve got some things I really, really need to work out with it first — but that’s a whole different topic. And the leave-the-hamburger option doesn’t work for me, because I have a carefully customized menu… and anyway doesn’t fix all of the concerns I need to work through
