feels more active as it's telling a user what to do in a friendly manner rather than sharing a best practice. I don't think this is a good change.

As the WordPress community we can (and) should help others.
I am open for text suggestions as I really believe the current text is missing that last friendly nudge to improve the site codebase to use a child theme.
Not updating the main (parent) theme: possibly resulting in unpatched leaks or errors.

If you’ve made custom changes to the theme files, they will be lost. To keep everything safe and sound, we recommend using child themes for your modifications.

- Milestone changed from 6.7 to Future Release
