A message on the status bar isn't a problem. I thought the complaint was the popup windows.
I'm quite able to avoid clicking or being irritated by the message. If it changes I might go and see "what's new" and also what the Apprentices are at. I'm on 4.23 as currently it does what I need. I envisage upgrading. Possibly on a 2nd laptop to test also the "newest" Linux Mint as I happen to have got a spare old one good enough. Currently that has Mint 19.3 and my everyday laptop has Mint 18.3 which is soon out of LTS. I use LTS versions were possible and only upgrade when I need to.
