Tails 2.6 not wiping?

Since installing, the new update of tails doesn't do the usual wiping procedure, just stops on "Now safe to remove USB, if machine doesn't shut down, wiping may not have been complete" prompt.

Anyone else having this and is it really an issue?

Not unless you anticipate being raided by an elite computer forensics team with a vacuum flask of liquid nitrogen (seriously). The memory wiping on shutdown is only intended to address such "Cold Boot" attacks, they are not relevant to almost anyone here.
