 == User Story ==

 - On your website you have most of your plugins set to auto-update ON.
 - For some critical or less trusted plugins you may set auto-update to
 OFF.
   - Of these for the majority you read the update notes carefully and then
 trigger a manual update.
   - For a minority you may decide to skip the update for now or ignore
 this update altogether.

 - Now mentally you are done with this, but nevertheless this "available
 update" continues to tax your administrative attention!
   - Still adds to the count of available updates (red badge counter over
 "Plugins" menu entry).
   - Shows a quite prominent "updates available" banner in the plugin list.
   - You have to deal with something over and over again which for you is
 already over.

 == Improvement ==
 - In the fashion of a good "attention economy" and a "get thing done"
 workflow this situation shall be improved.
 - In the banner WordPress offers a button "Hide" plus two nearby radio
 buttons: (•) until next update ( ) forever.
 - When clicking "Hide"
   - the banner dissolves,
   - and it does not contribute to the update count anymore,
   - the red badge over the "Plugins" menu item disappears, if that was the
 last available update.
 - From now there is only a very subtle reminder that a newer version would
 be available but you chose to ignore it:
   - Version: 1.2.3 has a "([# 2.1.1] ignored)" in brackets nearby.
   - Clicking the link [# 2.1.1] shows the banner again and increases the
 count again.
 - With this simple mechanism all possible scenarios to ignore or to pay
 attention get possible.
 - See the mockup story below.
