--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The text widget has legacy mode processing.     On upgrade from 4.7  to
 4.8.1 beta 1 the widget correctly detects legacy mode.

 However,  if the widgets is then edited to no longer contain html and has
 add paras checked ( i.e. edited to a mode the new text widget would on a
 fresh install operate in non legacy mode )  the wording continues to say
 'may contain code'  - when it no longer does.  Looking forward this
 message could be confusing when it has been forgotten it used to contain
 code.

 Solutions:
 1 simple - change the wording e.g. 'may contain, or previously may have
 contained' ...
 ( the HTML widget won't be new forever either - so maybe there is a road
 map for this message ... )
 2 complex - once code has been removed & filter set to automatically have
 paragraphs to remove legacy mode
