So dont worry about upgrading, nothing will change.
After the upgrade there will be a migration assistant you can choose (or not yet choose) to follow. No rush.

The instruction text says "Enable the anti-lockout rule" while step 2 says "Deselect anti-lockout in advanced settings".
Given the wording of the control itself ("Disable anti-lockout"), I suggest revising the instruction text to: "To prevent being locked out during the rule migration process, enable automatically generated lock-out rules..." and updating step 2 to: "Uncheck the 'Disable anti-lockout' checkbox."
