Comment (by kcrisman):
> > Especially for some that are quite independent of Sage it could be
possible someone didn't notice that the optional package had been updated
and then got an error that's really because of their version, not an
actual failure.
> I say it would be an actual failure. If upgrading the optional package
would make the failure go away, then the user should upgrade to the newest
version.
Right, except would the user actually know that the solution to the
failure was upgrading? In principle we don't want a sage-release or other
email to come in unless there is an actual failure. If this gives a clear
message to that effect (upgrade package so-and-so) then it's no problem.
