Barry,

I think the new Wiki page (and link to it from the message) is very helpful.

After looking over this discussion (and the one in LP #i774999) it seems to me worth wording the warning in a way that makes the long-term status of the i8xx chips clear, rather than mentioning each specific Ubuntu version individually...

Also, while I have no idea how often this hardware shows up on machines being used as a server, given that the warning message does show up the context of a "do-release-upgrade" I think it's worth having the message explicitely say that the warning only applies to X Windows, so users upgrading a non-X server can proceed with the upgrade without even needing to look at the Wiki page.

I'll try to pull together a proposed wording for all that shortly.

(One other note on your bug-941172 branch: not sure if you left it in the branch on purpose, but I noticed that there is a "True or" still added in the "if" statement....)
