Comment:

 I don't actually think that the amount of time since an update became
 available is relevant to its importance.

 A security update is extremely important whether it's 30 minutes old or 6
 weeks; a minor update to a plugin may be unimportant no matter how long
 it's been. This change would create a false sense of urgency - or lack of
 urgency.

 Given that this has had no movement in several years, I think we should
 close it. All updates should be treated as equally important, and it's up
 to the admin to determine their level of concern.

 One suggestion by @sabernhardt is that it may be better to raise the
 warning to an error if an admin has previously ignored the nag; but it's
 debatable how valuable that is.

 If somebody wishes to move this forward, feel free to comment and re-open.
