You can use Message() to tell the frontend client to show the user a
dialog box of a certain type. By giving the message an enumerated type
the frontend can choose to ignore some message types and show others.

I think it makes no sense whatsoever to just show the user a *generic*
untranslated "read this" dialog box after updating packages.
