Comment(by DD32):

 > but... I thought that update_core, update_plugins, and update_themes
 were built around the same idea

 Yeah, They are, But when you actually look at what causes each to expire,
 and what they actually check from the input, and what parts of the input
 need to be passed to the API, etc. It quickly becomes very little common
 code.

 The HTTP Api and *_transient() takes care of major parts, other than that
 its just input selection, error checking, and setting when the update
 check is called(cron)
