 I'm hoping to get that information more readily available at a glance.
 Personally, when I first encountered the PHP requirement on a plugin I was
 so used to going to the Updates screen checking the all plugins box and
 hitting update that I overlooked one wasn't checked/updated as the
 updating screen only lists the plugins being updated I didn't realize one
 wasn't being done. It was only a bit later when I noticed the update
 icon+number was still there that I went back to find the issue.

 they're aware of the issue and don't simply skip past it as I did.

 @garrett-eclipse nothing in this ticket would prevent exactly what you did
 above.

 The plugin won’t update and the general reason is displayed in a message.
 Unless you change the user’s behavior of clicking //Select All//. This
 will continue to happen and the user will then look closer at the display
 and actually read the message.

 The difference is that I don’t see this ticket as an improvement. I see it
 as cluttering the user’s screen with extraneous information that they can
 find elsewhere with a single click.
