 I think that's a good workaround, but I'm not sure I'd consider it a
 complete solution. It reintroduces all of the UI for installing updates,
 but then if someone tries, they'd get a `cannot remove old plugin` error.

 Some of that can probably be mitigated by extending the snippet to hide
 the UI with CSS, or deny other caps that are necessary for that screen to
 appear in menus, etc, but it still feels a bit clunky.

 There's also the question of whether or not admins should be required to
 setup a workaround or anything in the first place. Given how important it
 is to install updates, it might be worth adding the more granular
 capabilities, just for the extra nudge that would give to admins.
