I would deem an extra pop-up too intrusive. Probably many people use a stable release image deliberately and only want to receive backported patches for that. But maybe we could add a short note into the Transcript or the "updated completed" dialog?
Best,

That's weird, I'm here at 22221. 22111 is the latest image version for Squeak 6.0. Do you maybe need to change your image to follow the Trunk (Squeak 6.1Alpha) again?
Now that you mention it, this is easy to overlook and I wonder how many new users even know that the trunk stream is available to them?
Perhaps we could have something like this in a menu, perhaps right below the "Update Squeak" option in the menu bar:
(MCMcmUpdater defaultUpdateURL copyAfterLast: $/ ) in: [ :repo | repo = 'trunk' ifFalse: [ (self confirm: 'Change to master trunk development stream (currently updating from ', repo, ')?') ifTrue: [MCMcmUpdater defaultUpdateURL: 'https://source.squeak.org/trunk']]]
