Comment (by karinclimber):

 So my issue with all of this is that another site has a notification in
 Site Health to remove inactive themes. That is conflicting advice and is
 totally confusing to users. So, delete all the inactive themes, then get a
 critical notification that you need a backup theme. That's kind of silly.

 I understand updating a plugin when there is a risk, such as Elementor/
 the Ultimate Add-Ons plugin yesterday, but sometimes you want to wait a
 day or two to let the bugs get worked out. Yoast released 4 bug fixes
 after their last update, WP Recipe Maker (a lot of our clients use this)
 released 3 bug fixes within a day of the initial update. I just think that
 the wording does not need to be as frightening. It would be great if
 plugin security patches could be auto-updated like core security patches
 are. (I know that is not very practical logistically.)

 The funny part of all of this is Andrew @eatingrules and I were talking
 about this and he had more than one plugin that needed to be updated on
 his site and was not receiving a "Critical" message, while some of our
 clients have just one and are receiving that message.
