Comment (by tobifjellner):

 How would you go about doing it?
 You may not start the update, but if you do, then cancelling it midway
 could create an undefined limbo situation.
 In such case, a better option would be a {{{rollback}}} button. Then any
 plugin update would start by making a backup copy of the current version,
 before the upgrade happens.
