Research usefulness of text "This merge request will start a merge train when pipeline X succeeds"

This is an actionable insight from the UX Department: MRs experience async critique research (insight).

What

In the merge request widget, when using the merge trains feature, below the button Start merge train when pipeline succeeds it reads This merge request will start a merge train when pipeline X succeeds.

The button hasn't been clicked yet, so saying that it “will” seems incorrect. It also looks redundant to repeat the same information twice.

How

Look into the usefulness of that message and if it's possible to remove it or reword it.

A common interpretation of the text is When the pipeline in progress succeeds, the merge train will Start/MR will be added to a train. This is the same as the message communicated through the button text as well.
