Easy decision to change the label, hard decision to find out what to change
it to be informative, concise, and not too technical.
Also note that the summary text ("n packages will be held back and not
upgraded") (below the changes tree) will also need an update (most users
won't know what "held back" means, and it's not correct, as not selecting
an item for upgrade is not the same as holding it back - conceptually ...
although in this case the two are equal). Ideas for these labels are
welcome.
What do you think of Upgradeable in place of Unchanged and "n packages
upgradeable but not upgraded" in the summary?
