I know it can be a pain, but honestly, do you want your entire site to be up-to-date and secure, or have a cool plugin? I think this is a great concept and will make things much easier on a lot of people....and again, it's not saying "you have to use this plugin"....just merely a suggestion as to what is best for the version of WordPress you're using.
