I believe in the KISS principle.  Do a simplification change that does it for the great number of new Fedora users who are coming from other desktop/laptop/business systems. Linux is gaining #users. 

Let us make their migration to Fedora for end-user people as simple as possible for this function.

I would actually hugely prefer we amend that to say `dnf --refresh
offline-upgrade download; dnf offline-upgrade reboot` or so. It's a
footgun as it stands.
