Making it harder to get updates by having to go to a website is
likely to have a big impact on keeping people up to date especially
when it comes to security. Even with automatic updates, there's
usually a long tail of those that don't update.<br>

Thunderbird has traditionally presented a what's new page on update.
Surely some experiments for putting a button on there could be done?
(You could probably also do some a-b testing with something like
optimizly).<br>
