 In WordPress 4.4, when browsing the installed theme's page, I noticed that
 Twenty Sixteen had an update notification. I clicked on the update text
 thinking it would upgrade the theme but instead, it displayed a screenshot
 of the theme. I appreciate being notified than an update is available but
 it seems counter-intuitive if I have to leave the page to update the
 theme. If users can't update themes in place as proposed in #31531 then I
 question whether displaying an update notification in this location is
 useful at all.
