you_still_use_that(): reword the instructions

The message is overly long and may mislead readers into thinking
there is recourse other than adopting the new workflow.  Clarify
that the message is there merely to help them find a replacement
workflow, and is not offering to reconsider a decision that has
already taken effect.
