As best I can recall, I caught in the midst of a reactivate, and did not see
the message. In hindsight, it's possible I was confused :-(.
Perhaps it would be best if non-AUTOUPDATE machines put notice of the
existance of a newer version in /etc/motd, rather than purely
in the reactivate output... (?).
