Note that there are two things. One is the overly long and IMO unhelpful musing about what happen: what is installed, and what is removed, and especially the 'Windows, etc' part. This can be shortened to simple informational message, that allows to identify the successful action, without musing about its origin and possible effects. Another is the removal of the printing at all. I am sure that the first issue should be fixed now, if some informational printing is going to stay for (limited) time.
