To the specific suggestions I already responded in JENKINS-24846. I'd like to address your implied assumptions here:
* You seem to assume that everyone wants to update all plugins every time they update anything. * You seem to assume that everyone wants to update plugins and core at the same time. * You seem to assume that everyone wants to restart Jenkins once plugin updates are installed, and go into quiet down mode to stop build execution before doing that. I'm fairly confident that none of these are true for most larger Jenkins instances. They certainly aren't on any instance I know of. That said, what you suggest (a more basic Manage Plugins UI for people who don't need to fine-tune) could easily be added in a plugin and considered for core addition if successful enough.
