I'm more likely to skip plugin updates than baseline calibre updates.
I've been ignoring View Manager updates for more than a year, and I only update Job Spy when the developer adds a new tool I think I might find useful. So when something like Count Pages gets updated I'm apt to miss it. But I'm not suggesting anything be done about that - just saying.
If someone has nothing better to do: So as to better differentiate the status line notifications for calibre and plugins, paint the calibre version number in same colour as the "Update found:" text :-
Not sure why the parentheses are there, when there's no calibre update available they don't appear.

PS : I'm sure there are better things someone could do than paint version numbers green
