That concern is true, but I think it's kind of consistent. E.g. it is used in 
tabbox to close a window. It's also possible to be used in present windows to 
close a window by middle click, but there it is configurable. I thought about 
exactly that issue and about adding a config option to it, but I think it is 
overkill. It is a hidden feature, you normally don't middle click a 
notification or an entry in the tabbox. So the chance to do harm - especially 
for notifications - is rather low. On the other hand what do you want to 
achieve if you click a notification? Probably saying "hey I read that, go 
away!".
