The popup has to be there and it cannot be applied automatically. You could end up with data loss that way, think about what happens if you are editing the metadata of a book whose metadata is changed out from under you in the background by the metadata download process. And that's just one possibility, there are many, many thing you can do in calirbe that could cause conflicting changes to the metadata of the same book.

And it cannot be shown in the status bar, as there can be multiple such notifications, and they have to be responded to by the user.
