Comment (by audrasjb):

 @klou @karmatosed @paaljoachim thanks for your design feedback 👍

 I'm not convinced by the idea of moving the button-link in the "Plugin"
 column. Indeed, the text of the link is pretty long, and I think it just
 can't be both shorter and understandable/accessible.

 Also, we have to think about translations.
 For example (in those examples, I'll use fr_FR but I'm pretty sure the
 issue also exists in other languages!), "Enable automatic update" will be
 translated as "Activer les mises à jour automatiques" in French :-) Pretty
 long, but we just can't make is shorter. Even worst: there is no short
 equivalent to "Auto Update" expression in French.

 Therefore, I'd say we keep the action in the Description column. And I
 initially added the dashicon to make it more discoverable because it's in
 the Description column :-)

 Does it makes sense for you? Any opposite thoughts on this?

 (in any case, I think we should avoid to use the short version "auto
 update" at all, event in the filters on the top of the page but that's
 another question)
