+ Before confirming my upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10, I get this information
pop-up (see screenshot) :
"Do you want to start the upgrade ? xx installes packages are not maintained
by Canonical anymore... blabla"
I am a simple user and I do not get what is important or not in this
popup, as there is information everywhere :
- - "xx installed packages are not maintained by Canonical anymore. You can
always retrieve assistance from the community"
- > This is not a positive sentence. As a simple user, I will ask myself :
"so what ? should I upgrade or not ? is there a risk for me ?"

I think this popup should be redesigned totally : "what important
message do we want to communicate to the user ?"
+
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseUpgrades#ready>: "Once the calculation
+ has finished, the progress window should morph into a dialog summarizing
+ what will happen ... The size should be rounded appropriately (e.g. '710
+ MB' or '1.2 GB') ... *If* any manually-installed software will conflict:
+ 'This software conflicts and must be removed:' ... The time should be
+ calculated based on how long the package indexes took to download..."
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
