A thought-- For Joe Blogger, it's a bit of a pain to remember to check WordPress.org every month to make sure his blogware is up-to-date. Sure, the Dashboard lists the feed from the dev blog, but if Joe Blogger's like me, he never reads it.
Wouldn't it be practical to have an XML file hosted on WordPress.org (e.g. http://wordpress.org/download/update?ver=$version)? By default, it would be empty, but when the version is replaced by another, it would simply contain a reminder and a link that could be printed at the top of the admin interface (for level 10 users). Obviously, require(); and include(); would work as well, though I might muster a guess that using either with an external site would be frowned upon.
