Appstore versions are *expected* to be managed by appstores. If users rely on
that, it's the appstore packahe author's responsibility to mark the next update
as "urgent", so that appstore updates it ASAP. It is *not* expected that apps
managed by appstores start telling "update is available".

If a user opts out from an automatic update mechanism of the appstore, they
know what they are doing. It is an explicit act, and there should not be
another guess like "they decided to not update automatically, but we know
better that they need our reminder".

And no, appstore versions are *not* expected to even show an "update available"
icon. If they do, it's a bug.
