[wp-testers] wp-images folder deleted by update-core.php

[DD32]

Its not very pluggable, and doesnt have that many(if any) hooks/filters in  
it at present AFAIK.

I'm planning on giving the plugin installer/plugin upgrader/theme upgrader  
code a bit of modularisation for 2.8, So some filters will probably become  
available then for that lot, I've not looked at the core update functions  
much though, So not sure what'd be required there, But some filters are  
probably going to be added at some point in the future, but cant say there  
will be any for 2.7..
