I'm sorry, I didn't realize that "adding pt" was referring to me. So Pat
did ask for help from a designer.

For the reasons I gave, I could be wrong, but I doubt that any warning
should appear during flashing at all. The main reason people would try
to remove the battery here, rather than at any other time, is because
they think the update is stuck. Correct? We can fix that by reassuring
people that it is not stuck -- showing a determinate progress bar during
the flashing, which is the polite thing to do anyway. And we have extra
incentive to take that approach, since this screen is difficult to
localize.

So, to extract just my technical questions from earlier:

1. iOS, and Windows Phone, do not have any warning during system update.
What is different about Ubuntu? Is it that Ubuntu is more likely to be
damaged if someone tries to interrupt a system update? Or is it just
that the lack of progress makes people more likely to try?

2. Is removing the battery more dangerous when flashing than it is
during normal use? If so, is this a problem that will be solved with
Snappy?

3. What is "Do not disturb" intended to cover, besides removing the
battery? What things can users actually do, during an update, that they
should not do?
