As it stands, when a security vuln shows up, and a new release gets
pushed out, there isn't a good way to alert the vast majority of
users to its presence.
One way such things are handled these days for a lot of projects is
to have the code periodically check if a newer version of the
software is available.
Would it be reasonable if a feature was added to Emacs to alert the
user that a newer version of Emacs existed? Or would the potential
privacy issues, even if the check could be turned off, exceed the
benefit?
