Eventually drop the top-panel?

[Kai Mast]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering with adding functionality to the dash like indicating 
progress or a message counters, are there plans to drop the indicator 
menu and with it the whole top panel?

This would mean that we could drop all the "maximize to panel" and 
globalmenu-patches. Functionality like the sound menu could also be 
included into the jumplist of the dash...

Is there really still a need for indicators? I hardly use them...

Any thoughts on this?

greetings,
Kai
