 Plugin Updates are set up great for maintenance and minor bug fixes,
 however it is lacking in critical updates.

 I would like to suggest the ability for plugin authors to be able to tag
 an update as severe vulnerability fix or something of that nature.  This
 would then give a big warning across all admin screens until the plugin is
 updated or the notice is dismissed.

 They way it is now, a lot of people do not update plugins immediately and
 some don't update plugins at all.  With a warning of this nature, most
 people would see the importance of updating a plugin that has security
 issues which could cause their site to go down.
