Badly written Cydia message... meaning?

[maturola]

Actually I kind of agree with OP. It reads as if your apps will just stop working one day unless you provide Cydia your ECID/SHSH.
It's technically accurate, but the meaning is not clear unless you already know what it means. Therefore does not provide new users with appropriate information to make a decision.

They may as well say

Who is to say that in "not Accurate"??? that is what it said, since that "could" happend (apple could force an EDIC to install the "latest" firmware or all the App and phone itself will stop working, doubt that will ever do it, but it is possible). Only way to avoid it would be to trick iTunes to think you are on the current firmware.

It's says "when" not "if". This implies an inevitability that your phone will stop working one day, through no action of your own. As you said, firmware updates have never been forced. The pop-up implying that this will change in the future comes across as FUD and could be considered as "not Accurate".

But really it's not worth arguing about. I was just saying that I can understand a novice being unclear as to what it really means. At the end of the day, the only thing the user needs to know is

You want this: please agree.
