Description

After an upgrade, cron has to run at least once to finish some things that might take longer. When you're upgrading quickly through major releases (say you go from 12 to 20) you risk problems if you don't run cron in between, but most admins won't know this.

We should warn, or better, offer to run cron after the upgrade is complete.
