Comment (by johnbillion):
I'm on the fence about an option to disable update checking, but I don't
think it's really necessary. Those who want to disable it can install a
relevant plugin - that's what the plugin system is there for, to enable
control of options and functionality that a smaller subset of people who
use WordPress might want.
To quote Westi:
One of the core design ideas for WordPress is that we don't introduce
options lightly. The moment you think of making a feature optional you
challenge the argument for introducing the feature in the beginning.
This is exactly why WordPress has a ''very'' extensive plugin API. Write a
plugin so people can change their user-agent and be done with it.
