--- Comment #5 from David Hurka <david.hu...@mailbox.org> ---
This dates back to... long ago?
There are basically these commits (and probably others) which introduced this
message (KMessageWidget *Okular::Part::m_migrationMessage):

Non-blocking docdata/ migration message

core: support for migration of annots and forms out of docdata/
But apparently, this support already has existed before?:

I think you should be glad that you upgraded, with a reinstallation you would
have lost all the annotations.
Considering such cases, it is probably fine to save the annotations inside the
PDF file. See also: Bug 151614
Exporting annotations to an XML file could be useful, but apparently Okular
does not do that. Bug 151614 has a "quick and dirty" program to do the
opposite, which could help you to migrate your annotations.
What remains, is to invert the message, so it fits its meaning.
