yeah, getting this conditionally would be much nicer, but this is also
much cheaper, so if this really is deemed a problem then I'm fine with
warning unconditionally for now.

maybe use "QUESTION" for the icon to avoid making this seem less safe than
it will be for most users.

No hard feelings, but could maybe be good to mention the action one
confirms here, e.g. something like:

"Applying pending SDN changes will also apply any pending local node network changes. Proceed?"

Or multiline, like:

"Really apply pending SDN changes?"

Note: This will also apply any pending local node network changes."

Above could be redouce if you touch this anyway, i.e. to:

failure: response => Ext.Msg.alert(gettext('Error'), response.htmlStatus),
