Assuming it would trigger on _available_ updates (and not only when
the actual upgrade is about to be performed) the relevant notice would
be shown at --sync and --pretend time, no? Then the user has the
opportunity to delay the update until he's prepared for the change, I
wouldn't call that last-minute.

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
