ach whatever. I don't think it makes sense. The Firefox developers
(and others) have a different opinion. I always let Firefox find the
updates by itself, so I've never actively looked for the update menu
item. (I wouldn't have started in "Help".)

Mac OS X has the update menu item in the Apple menu. OmniFocus has it
in the "OmniFocus" menu. There are probably more counter-examples, I'm
just too lazy to fire up all those third-party applications right now.
:-)

So I'll stick with the button opener in Utilities. If anyone wants to
remove it from the Trunk, no problem.

Best,

Michael
