Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Seems to me that this is a use-case where site admins shouldn't be allowed
 to upgrade plugins, and where all installs should be maintained from the
 shell using svn, git, or scripts.

 The risk is quite huge in that setup: only one site gets put on
 maintenance mode, even though the plugin update could be affecting dozens
 of sites.
