Why did glance get released without notification support?

I mean, I love Nokia and all, buts it's a little silly. All it shows is the time.

I still think it should ONLY be time. At this point it's just a second lock screen.

Well true. But it's nice to have quick peek at status.. Waiting for Lumia Black.

Can't wait for Lumia Black myself.

To your original question I don't know why they didn't roll it out originally. I think it's a good answer to our phones not having a notification LED. Maybe they wanted to see how Glance Screen does out in the wild without the added features before they added notifications to it.
