--- Comment #14 from Alex <a...@laxu.de> ---
Let's say I would like to mute the team chat for 2 hours, but keep
notifications for reminders from the calandar app on, so you get notified when
the next meeting starts.
Now I could, of course, just quit the teamchat, or disable notifications inside
the team-chat itself. But will I remember to start it again after 2 hours?
Maybe I will only remember several hours later and then have missed quite a few
notifications and was unreachable for a lot of people.
The DnD feature also doesn't discard (or prevent) the notifications completely,
but only disables showing them for a chosen amount of time and you can have a
look at them later on.

In the end, I would say the use-cases are all the same as for the global DnD
function, only that you may want to whitelist or blacklist only certain
applications instead of disabling notifications for all programs. Most often it
would probably be like getting one notification, e.g. from a chat, and then
clicking on "mute for 2 hours" and wouldn't require an extensive management for
lists of enabled and disabled apps. For me, it also doesn't have to persist
across sessions, but a switch that just suppresses the notifications right now
is enough.
I can't imagine that it would be hard to implement and it could be handy for
the cases when only one app is sending too many notifications.
