I'm probably being too pendactice from the UX point of view.
(1) The last screen says a reboot is needed. The prompt is <Continue>
or <Go Back>.
(2) The last screen does not say a reboot will be performed, and does
not offer a choice to not reboot.
When I was faced with (1), I selected <Continue> thinking I could drop
into a shell and perform the extra steps.
(3) The last screen should say something like, "A reboot is required.
Reboot Now? <Yes> <No>".
If the message and prompt is changed to (3), then the message will
more closely follow the existing behavior. It will improve the UX
experience.
