Actually, no it can't coexisting with the current code. The connection test is integrated into the embedded python code that checks for updates. Adding a manual update check that checks the version.xml file on github directly will involve modifying the existing function or creating a new one. And how long should everyone wait for such a manual check to fail when there's no active connection? 5, 10, 15 seconds (maybe a minute for dial-up users)?
