 The order needs to go something like this:

 1. Theme Readme.txt spec supports Upgrade Notices (✅ -- have for quite a
 while)
 2. Meta team agrees on an endpoint structure for including the data
 3. Meta team plans to implement
 4. WordPress Core adds support for the endpoint value; Meta implement

 The reason being that if something is added in WordPress Core prior to
 discussing the feature with the meta team; we committers would be making
 assumptions about the meta code base that we're unable to see.


 The chances are that the field would end up being `upgrade_notice` but we
 still need to build the roads before attempting to use them.

 No need to say sorry, even people who use trac daily sometimes get caught
 out by integration rules. Trust me, I know ;)
