Re: [development] RFC: letting modules phone home to check for new releases

I think a block that shows up for uid no 1, which lists security announcements, would be cool too

Kind of a security release announcement block. Even if it's just a little line of text in the body.

Huh? Last I checked drupal.org/security had an RSS feed and Drupal core had an aggregator which can do blocks and we have excellent control over block visibility.
