AFAICT, Dmitry was asking only for package-update, not
package-update-all. Stefan was also inclined for that.
In my changes, I changed both. But it is not hard for me to touch
only package-update and to do it with the utmost care for
separation and stability.
For the moment, I'm focusing on M-x package-install, like Philip is.
There seems to be more consensus there that it should offer to update
builtin packages that have never been updated.
I do believe there is high demand for a "upgrade/update" mechanism
that just "updates whatever there is to update, don't care if core
or whatnot" and people looking at package-update-all and
package-menu--mark-upgrades (the "U" command Dmitry brought up)
will eventually be disappointed.
