That's just giving the user bad news and letting him think he's stuck
with it. Maybe we could add something like: 
"By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bugfixes and
new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to
obtain a newer version of GNOME."

Also, I'd prefer to change 
"However, you are using an old version"
to
"However, you are using a version that is too old" or similar, 
so we don't encourage people (journalists) to say "Look, as soon as
they've shipped it, they stop supporting it. This why open source yadda
yadda yadda wrong."
