Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.
We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.
Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.
Thanks!

Yeah I wonder if project browser covers this, it's mentioned in the IS, but I'm not seeing the actual change proposed.
Let's give @bojhan a chance to reply before closing it.

Bojhan was recently removed as a UX maintainer for core. See 📌 Remove Bojhan as maintainer for Usability topic Active
Although this is classified as "extension system", it's really tightly coupled to "update.module", of which I am still an active subsystem maintainer. 😅
I believe it's safe to close this. Most of the stuff he's talking about improving has been removed from update.module. It's no longer called an "Update manager". It's being replaced by both project_browser, the new "update_manager" (what everyone still calls "auto_updates"), and for the non-UI among us, by the fact that Drupal requires using
composer
now, which simplifies (and complicates) a lot of this UX for us.If

I should add: all the energy around Drupal CMS as the primary "product" that folks start from, which now includes both project_browser and (new) update_manager, means anyone starting out with Drupal now will have a much better experience in this realm "out of the box". So the existence of drupal_cms itself is another reason this issue is now outdated.
Finally, I must also add, the UI/UX for the D7 "update manager" used to be *much* worse before Bojhan started helping me fix it. 😂 I learned so much about usability through those efforts, and (pre-composer) core "update manager" was vastly improved by it from D8-D11. We definitely didn't fix everything, but we made real progress. I'm eternally grateful to all the time @Bojhan spent on those issues and efforts, for their generosity sharing their knowledge and expertise, and for their patience while I (and others) tried to implement and refine their suggestions. Formally crediting @Bojhan here for the issue write up, linked issues, etc.
Deep thanks!
