I belive it works fine in openSUSE.  RPM based distros seem to be
fine, but I can't speak for Debian.  Arch for sure, it doesn't work
and thus Arch users are getting a major regression of not being able
to use gnome-software to manage software groups and so forth.  I
understand that work is continuing for integration.

I think people will be disappointed if we let notifications slip
another release.
