Since this header is not documented anywhere yet let me ask the |
| 12 |
following questions about it: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Will the news item be shown before or after the package gets merged? |
| 15 |
If before, will the user have to acknowledge the news item (i.e. will |
| 16 |
the merge process block until the user has been able to read the item?) |

I'm afraid that this is not correct, because the semantics of |
| 22 |
Display-If-Installed don't match the use case I described. Specifically, |
| 23 |
it will cause the news item to be shown way to early for users on a |
| 24 |
stable profile. |
