 With this config:

 {{{
 define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );
 }}}

 the updates page (wp-admin/update-core.php) in the admin UX just
 disappears for users with the administrator role (and maybe other UX
 also), which is disconcerting and unexpected.

 It would be better to continue to deliver all the same admin navigation
 with this config, but include messages that explain that file
 modifications are turned off.

 I spent quite a while trying to figure out why admin navigation was
 missing until I figured this reason out.
