Could the warning message be something along these lines?

Your graphics hardware is no longer fully supported by the Ubuntu project.

Your computer contains a video graphics controller that uses an Intel i8xx chipset. As of Ubuntu 10.10 (Natty), these chipsets are considered obsolete and no longer receive testing or bugfix support. As a result, even if you currently have a working configuration, you may encounter problems running X.org after upgrading Ubuntu.

For more information see
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/UpdateManageri8xxWarning

(If you do not plan to run X.org on this machine, it should be safe to proceed with the upgrade.)

Do you want to continue with the upgrade?

(Is it possible to put line/paragraph breaks into the "msg", as I have done here?)

Also, I was wondering if it made sense to rename the Wiki page to include "i8xx" in the name, to leave open the possibility of adding other warnings to Update Manager in the future (as shown in the URL in my sample text).
