I genuinely cannot tell. If I was for some reason forced to guess, I
suppose I'd agree with you, but I am not certain enough to select either
option. Therefore, for me, this message is genuinely confusing and
unhelpful and will prevent my completing the upgrade for some time.

I'd argue rather that it isn't a *critical* bug. But it is a UI bug,
unless I am uniquely bad at interpreting these kinds of statements.

In general, if what you're doing is presenting a choice between
restarting the system and not, this would be best put as "restart the
system now [yN]?" (with some preceeding explanation) as opposed to "some
talk about restarting the system" followed by "Continue [unspecified
action/process that might or might not be restarting the system] [yN]?"

On the other hand if you're *not* asking about restarting the system,
then it's unhelpful to have talk about restarting the system and then
ask "Continue [something else entirely] [yN]?" because it's hard to work
out what the something else might be.
