You need to know that we had a dependency on the Activity Stream API, as the only implementation of the Event Stream, on which the Notifications are based. So to get rid of this dependency (the code is not using our component system and is not well tested), I have written a new implementation of the Event Stream that I have called "Event Stream Store". It's fully backward compatible with the old implementation, since it is using the same Database schema. In practice, I re-used some pieces of Activity Stream that I have modified to fit into components. For more information, see: https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-16052 So my proposal is this one: - use the new store in 11.1

- stop bundle Watchlist and AS in 11.1

- move Watchlist and AS into "attic" in 11.2
