Whereas my c++ and python developers also may not know that Ubuntu exists, so I am forced to use a PPA back port in a 6000 user corporate deployment as they have no plans to rework their code in the next 5 years.

The application indicator system has been in place for two years now, which should be long enough for applications to adopt it. If the whitelist was retired, Java and Wine would be hard-coded as the only software still able to use the menu bar as if it was a notification area, because their developers don't necessarily know that Ubuntu even exists.
