 Hi @paulschreiber.

 I think it would be **really** hard (if not impossible) to detect that
 **all** updates (manual and auto) were disabled (by a plugin mucking with
 the site transients as shown in your example).  So I'm not sure what
 change we could make in core to alert site admins to kind of situation you
 faced.

 Hooking into the `pre_site_transient_update_XYZ` filters is how many
 plugins/themes that are not hosted in the .org repo make their updates
 known.  So simply checking whether those filters were hooked would provide
 too many false positives.

 Not saying that we shouldn't try to come up with a means of warning site
 admins, but again, not sure how would we do that.
