Comment (by Paddy Landau):

 Thank you for the changes and the speed with which you've attended to
 this!

 Does this change mean that we still need to use a plugin to disable the
 messages?

 [https://github.com/simshaun Shaun Simmons] has created a most useful
 plugin, [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-plugin-autoupdate-emails/
 Disable Plugin Autoupdate Emails], to disable the messages. However, this
 is a blanket disabling, and doesn't allow emails with errors through.

 I truly feel that the core should include this option, and, having read
 previous comments, that it should by default send messages only after
 failure. Having yet another plugin (a typical installation is already
 packed with plugins) seems overkill for such a basic function.

 Thank you
