Your changes will be lost on update, but you can basically create an entirely new template for CB if you want that's installable and you'll never lose your changes on update. You can find the template files at the below location.

We added strings both to admin_language.php and language.php in our language folder and nsfontawesome is loaded both on front and back end

The backend escapes the HTML so it doesn't break the backend layout. There's no workaround to this as broken HTML could easily break backend if we didn't escape it and then backend wouldn't be functional again. As long as it works fine on frontend then it's ok.

Much of it you've already got though, such as the notification system Webserfer talked about in #244354 This is something essential -- site members will use it routinely.

Notifications will be coming as a new plugin after CB 2.0. Our plan is to create CB plugins that either extend the new CBLib with new functionality to be used in other plugins or create plugins that provide various new features. Once these plugins have been tested, adjusted, and stabilized they'll merge into CBs core as a core plugin. This process guarantees the public can help shape a plugins future and that it provides what the public needs/wants. If we just pushed these features to CB Core then we lose a lot of feedback potential as it's much more complicated to release an entirely new CB build vs a smaller installable CB plugin. The first step after CB 2.0 goes stable is to upgrade existing plugins to be compatible and then new projects can start (I've quite a list!).

I forget exactly who (and where) it's indispensability was conveyed -- and I know you said it'll be last on the list because it's so big -- but yes, I'm already officially beating the drum for GJ.

I already have quite a bit of changes made locally that have yet to release. Once CB 2.0 goes stable the entire backend will be scrapped down to pure XML and the frontend will receive quite a few more improvements (performance improvements is pretty high up there). So rest assured GJ will absolutely be moving forward.
