That's pretty good, though I may tweak it a bit.  I'm not sure about what kind
of formatting is available in this string, but I'll look into it.  I do
suspect that at this point in the release cycle we'll need to get a UI freeze
exception for this change.  Let's get the code looking good and then follow on
with that process.

Good idea.

Title:
  do-release-update to Precise produces a hardware-not-support-in-Natty
  warning

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I ran "do-release-update -d" on a Lucid system to upgrade to Precise
  (which downloaded and ran version 0.156.6 of precise.tar.gz).

  As part of the pre-upgrade checking process, I got the following
  message:

    Your graphics hardware may not be fully supported in Ubuntu 11.04.

    The support in Ubuntu 11.04 for your intel graphics hardware is 
    limited and you may encounter problems after the upgrade. Do you want 
    to continue with the upgrade?

  Does this warning still apply to Precise?
