Suggestion

$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…
Info: org.kde.Platform//6.5 is end-of-life, with reason:
   We strongly recommend moving to the latest stable version of the Platform and SDK
Applications using this runtime:
   io.mrarm.mcpelauncher
Required runtime for io.mrarm.mcpelauncher/x86_64/stable (runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/6.7) found in remote flathub
Do you want to install it? [Y/n]:

io.mrarm.mcpelauncher previously used org.kde.Platform//6.5 (which is EOL), but the new update uses runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/6.7.

The main issue is that the Do you want to install it? does not have anything before it clearly indicating what will be installed/updated/removed.

(I accepted installation and it installed org.kde.Platform//6.7 (and .Locale), and updated io.mrarm.mcpelauncher//stable (and .Locale), and removed org.kde.Platform//6.5 (and .Locale))
