While I think it's unfortunate that there's no good way to provide 
update messages (take a look at OSX's update mechanism), this is by far 
not the biggest UI problem in the update center (I want to -update- my 
existing modules to the latest patch level, not install new/select from 
a giant module tree). Hopefully it will be redesigned soon, and we 
should make sure that they accomodate module update descriptions in that 
design.
