Comment (by nohalfpixels):

 no, i havent either, but it seems to me something that we should be
 encoraging users to do anyway.

 i know from my experience that 50% or more support requests i get can
 usually be avoided by the user keeping there plugins up to date.

 this would make it easy for authors to cut down support requests and spend
 more time developing.

 and also provide a quicker solution to the user (if they cant submit a
 support request to me until they update, and when they update they find
 the plugin works. this is much quicker than waiting for an email from the
 plugin developer).


 also looking at it to me it seems the above noted example function is less
 code than making a wrapper for install_plugin_install_status()

 so maybe just using the above is the way to go?
