Other opinions? That is better, yes. But again, the even better option IMHO is to have a button on a dedicated dialog page that say "Check online on =E2=80=A6 for updates.". That's what LibreOffice does and they do have a configure option to remove the whole thing when the application is under control of the system package manager. That is exactly the situation on Cygwin: MinTTY is packaged and the information that Github has a new version is useless anyway.
