6. Apply this branch.
7. Go to /wp-admin/plugins.php
3. It should be possible to enable auto-updates for WC core.
4. Go to /wp-admin/update-core.php, select WooCommerce in the list of plugins and hit update, no more warnings should stop you from updating.

2. Install a plugin that triggers the old warning (such as `woocommerce-gateway-amazon-payments-advanced.1.12.2__1_.zip`)
