 > Remaining question: Should the three cap checks at the top of `update-
 core.php` (line 22) be altered to include `update_languages`? Is this
 screen usable if a user ''only'' has that cap?

 I tested it, with only having the `update_languages` capability (out of
 the four updating caps), and it works perfectly fine. Good point bringing
 that up. In [attachment:39677.5.diff] I added the necessary check to the
 top of `update-core.php` and also to `menu.php` so that the menu item
 shows up correctly.

 A sidenote: Looking at the `wp-admin/network/menu.php` file, I noticed in
 that file only the `update_core` capability is checked. Let's ignore this
 here and deal with it in a separate ticket post-merge. I opened #41538 for
 this.
