What do you all think about adding a mention about the new feature to the OpenWrt banner that you see upon entering ssh each time? (it could link to the wiki article, too) 
Just to make people aware this feature is a thing now.

Maybe also add a mention in a second line below in-case the packet is not available on the tiny image that was installed or whatever custom image the user is using - to avoid confusion.

Something similar could be done to LuCI.
Show a message in blue at the top of the page (similar to the message that warns the user that no password was set, just not in yellow)
This message should also include a line in-case the packet actually isn't installed.

Or do both of those additional messages add too many characters and thereby too much size to tiny images to be of value?
I that case make them depend on the packet and only add them when the packets are installed (show/include luci message only when the luci attended sysupgrade itself is installed)
