I'd leave out the "might work", just say "Upgrading from PA3 is not =

officially supported" or "There is no official upgrading path form PA3 =

to PA4". We don't necessarily have to explicitly say "It's impossible", =

but we should not encourage anyone to try it, either. It simply won't =

work, and we want as few angry users as possible.
