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.
