Currently, we both provide e.g.:
"""
Migration status: OK: Will attempt migration (Any information below is
purely informational)
"""
(first line in the HTML excuse for a given package)
Along with:
"""
Valid candidate
"""
So changing the wording to the proposed will simply make it redundant
with the first line. Perhaps we should simply remove that line now?
Thanks,
