If there's a fire, you don't say "Please, excuse me for interrupting, but there's a fire and at your convenience, please make your way to the exit." Rather, it's "*FIRE*! Please STAY CALM. WALK DON'T RUN. The exit is OVER THERE. Make your way to it IMMEDIATELY!" So more along the lines of: """ After installing these packages, please DO NOT REBOOT until you follow the upgrade guide located at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml. If you do not follow the guide as soon as possible after these packages are upgraded and you reboot or crash without doing so, the system will likely fail to boot properly, and you may be looking at some time in manual recovery mode to fix it. """ Yes, the DO NOT REBOOT is shouting, not exactly polite, but that's arguably what's called for in this situation.
Plus having it in all caps makes it stand out. If a person even looks at the message, they will see that at least. Then hopefully, they will read the rest. I think bold would be nice to tho. It's not like this is not really really important.
Even with that, I see a few people not even noticing it and the next reboot going badly.
