When clicking "Install Updates" in update-manager, USER should be warned explicitly that doing so will require a restart. USER should know this well, before updating.
*Does* Ubuntu warn the user beforehand that the updates about to be made will eventually require a restart? I can't recall..

All unambiguous instructions. "Restart Required" was different completely in that Restart is a noun here, first of all. This was inconsistent and confusing.. good we got rid of it! The new formulation is definitely closer to a correct solution.. On the other hand, adding a whole sentence where a single word (Restart) worked perfectly introduces a regression problem, but i'll stop my bikeshed commentary for now ;) Which is better than having an ambiguous menu item which user would not > easily understand. > MPT's spec¹ places an info icon beside the "Restart" menu item, when a restart is required. I think adding this visual metaphor contributes greatly to solving our problem. ¹https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionMenu
