Currently, we both provide e.g.: """ Migration status: OK: Will attempt migration (Any information below is purely informational) """ (first line in the HTML excuse for a given package) Along with: """ Valid candidate """ So changing the wording to the proposed will simply make it redundant with the first line. Perhaps we should simply remove that line now? Thanks, ~Niels
