The recall warning is not a new thing. My laptop did in fact have a
battery recall. However, it was about 2-2.5 years ago, and my battery
has already been replaced. And I got the recall warning then, did the
recall and told the notice to leave me alone. I haven't gotten such a
notice until upgrading to Karmic, presumably because of the switch to
DeviceKit, and how it and g-p-m have regressed from HAL a bit.
