I am planning to give a talk on ApacheCon EU about

Service. ...
The question is: how dynamic does it need to be? It is not like the
upgrade options change minute by minute. These change slowly, at the
pace of our release cycle, so every few months.
Yes, and traffic is a key factor here. With potentially hundreds of
millions of clients hitting the servers, the biggest problem is not
re-implementing the update service as a web service, but serving it
efficiently. And indeed I agree that staticizing the results somehow
would be good to do, since we have a relatively low number of possible
answers with respect to the number of requests.
