yah, with you on that. i hope the notch overlays the top menu bar, rather than sitting atop it, so at least it won't be so much dead screen real estate. i have mine (and the dock) auto-hide, because i want the full screen devoted to my workspace, not menus.

Yes it does overlay it according to the screenshots shown so far. But it's still a problem for full-screen applications.

I don't see the advantage - it's a half-baked solution to a totally self-inflicted problem; they've intentionally been decreasing information density in the last few updates - they could just roll all that back.
