<pre>I think that as long as it is done correctly, the ability to show extensions
for which updates are available, but updating is disabled can be useful. I
think of two main use cases:
1) I have disabled extension "A" because of a bug, so updates for "A" are not
directly shown. However, I want to know if updates are available at all, since
they may fix the bug;
2) A nice feature of some software repos is that developers can mark release as
"pre-releases". These pre-releases are never selected for updates. However, the
possibility is left to the user to see if they exist. (For instance fdroid does
so with android software). I do not know if for LibO there is any provision in
this sense.</pre>
