Comment:

 I'm moving this ticket into the 5.2 milestone, as we need a better way of
 handling suggested policy changes. [44987] made some minor changes to the
 default policy text, which will cause this menu bubble to appear on every
 site, even though no-one actually needs to update their own policy to
 match, or even review the changed wording.

 Thinking about this some more, I don't know that a menu bubble is really
 the appropriate level of notification for privacy policy updates. I
 understand that this is the toned down version, it was originally an admin
 notice. But, despite being quite small, it stands out a lot, drawing
 attention away from whatever the person is actually trying to do. These
 notifications should really only be used for things that are immediately
 actionable, I suspect that privacy policy text changes are anything but
 that.

 I'm also tagging this ticket for design review, let's look at how we can
 improve this.
