Comment (by ryan):

 We already send the locale to api.wordpress.org when checking the version,
 but api doesn't do anything with it yet.  We'd have to put the locale
 packages of WordPress on the same file serving infrastructure as the
 regular packages.

 The zip can be given a random filename and tucked in a dir with an
 index.php in place to prevent directory listings.

 I think we should always upgrade the two bundled plugins but leave themes
 as an option.

 The current code does the upgrade on the spot without redirecting.  That
 might need to change in the future, but for now it works.

 Feedback is ugly and we need to worry about timing out if the script runs
 too long.  When using the direct fs the update is very fast, however.
