Why these changes? I think we need to show all the benefits, not just the specific thing they are trying to do. I also tried to make clear the cause-consequence on the custom domain, but I'm ok with any consistent change there.

https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/11575 is now merged and we can start thinking of updating the copy of the AT Eligibility holds and the warnings (see also: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/11394).
To put it in context, this is how it looks like right now:
There are three distinct parts that could use a copy update:
Holds (banner)
See: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/master/client/blocks/eligibility-warnings/index.jsx#L56-L80
The hold banners should come in two versions, one for the "install plugin" context and one for the "upload theme" one.
Custom domain required
Holds (list)
See: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/master/client/blocks/eligibility-warnings/hold-list.jsx#L25-L84
Currently, these holds only come in a single generic version ("feature" instead of "install plugin"/"upload theme").
I've included the URLs because most of them are clearly placeholders.
There are two holds marked as "taken care by the banner". The reason they're still here is to avoid conflicts with other people adding items to the list. They could also be helpful for the copy they use, which is different than the one used in the banners.
Business plan required
No custom domain
Warnings (list)
Warnings refers to widgets and plugins that won't be AT-ed. These are generated server-side and are basically a list of:
So it's likely not worth changing, unless we want to customize every single description, but I'd say it's better to keep them as they are in order to clearly explain to the users what they're going to lose (arguably more important than why) in the process.
Other copy
These are other strings in the eligibility screen that might need a look.
Please resolve these issues:
By proceeding you'll lose these %d features:
Now, since I'm ESL and can't do copy if my life depended on it, I come to you for suggestions and advices.
Also, it might be worth moving the more common holds out of the list and into the banners, as I'd say they look to me more urgent and less scary at the same time.
