Comment (by joostdekeijzer):

 Ok, I can follow that. But that does seem to put this minor change "on
 hold" for unknown time.

 Regarding "building roads": developers using the UpdateURI field like
 myself may already have roads. In my API endpoint the upgrade_notice field
 is populated for both themes and plugins and when I apply the changes by
 Andy it works fine and as I would expect.

 But following your steps: is the meta team aware of this (and perhaps
 other tickets)? Apart from https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/215 I
 could not find any open tickets referencing `upgrade_notice` or
 `readme.txt`. Their ticket https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6897 was
 closed as invalid.

 I really do hope it's possible to apply Andy's patch for the "3rd party"
 roads that external developers may have build.
