+    connection, it will then produce a warning telling the user to update it
+    from a pre-built wheel on PyPI if any new version is available.  But LFS
+    consider <command>pip3</command> a part of Python 3 so it should not be
+    updated separately, and an update from a pre-built wheel will deviate
+    from our purpose to build a Linux system from source code.  So the
+    warning for a new <command>pip3</command> version should be ignored as
+    well. If desired, suppress these warnings by running the following
