Comment (by MattyRob):

 From a user experience of using the plugin page - what are we going to
 expect blog owners and admins to do when they see this message?

 Presumably, there are three main options open to them:
 1/ Disable and deactivate the plugin and loose whatever functionality it
 gave them.
 2/ Disable the plugin and try to find a suitable replacement.
 3/ Ignore the message if the plugin is vital and there are no suitable
 replacements.

 In the case of the third option should we not be including some kind of
 logic to allow the nag message to be hidden when a site users has seen it
 and decided to do nothing about it?
