      …this bugs me.

      
      **** WARNING ****
      Reboot will be required!!
      Proceed with upgrade? (y/N)
      
      

      Is the mixed case "y/N" intentional?

        I believe it's there to indicate that the default action (with no user input except enter) is "N"

          Correct. That's the standard use of capitalization for many *nix CLI apps, the capital letter is the default.

            Agreed. It is correct as-is. Capital=default action.
