I think this solution would satisfy both Michael and those who don't
want to be bothered:
In the admin menus and dashboard, you are only "nagged" that you have
out-of-date plugins if an active plugin needs to be updated. If the
only plugins that need updating are inactive, you don't get the red
flag in-your-face warning.
If you happen to visit the Plugins page, you can see all (active and
inactive) plugin status, so that if you are about to activate a plugin
you can tell that it is out of date before you click the "activate" link.

Actually, this is an idea I can get behind. I too have seen a plugin
update notifier on my administration page only to browse to the
plugins area and find out the update is for a disabled plugin.

-1 on this idea.
Consider that the plugin is sorely out-of-date, so you have activate it
to find out it is obsolete. I'd like to know that it needs updating
before I activate it.
