[Bug 1926819] Re: Empty MOTD on up-to-date systems (includes fix)

[Tony Vroon]

There is still value in a "you are fully up to date" message, and I
would expect such a behaviour change to be optional. This has not been
announced and I find myself unable to opt out. Offering users more
choice is great, but, I have no choices here. That doesn't sit right.
