We already have a thread about exactly this wording problem. :P The
reason I didn't go for that wording is that it loses the 'appropriate'
concept, which is important and was specifically included. It appears
that people are having trouble parsing the intended sense of the
wording I chose - there are three actions, "install", "remove" and
"install appropriate updates for", all of which affect "software" - so
I'm trying to think of another way to put it.
