[dokuwiki] new release notification feature?

Hi *!

I just wondered if DokuWiki should have a new release notification
system. Unclassifed newsboard (the forum software that powers
forum.dokuwiki.org) has such an feature. Whenever a new release is
available, all admin users get a notify box on top of the forum.

This means the software checks regulary for new information on the
download server. Many people don't like these phone-home features so it
should be possible to disable but I think it might be really useful, to
get users quicker informed about possible security problems.

Another question is how should this work with ACL disabled? Should
everybody see the notification or nobody?

Tell me what you think.

Andi
