So you want a command to check whether a newer Emacs is available?
But where should this command look? Many (most?) people install
precompiled binaries prepared by their distros, and I assume those
distros have their "check for updates" service or something?
We could check on the GNU FTP site, but how many users will want to
download and build Emacs from sources?
What do other people think about this?
