A couple of concerns about this.

1)  If its done, please make sure it can be disabled through the config
file.
2)  "need to upgrade" will have a different meaning to different people.
3)  I think we've all seen software that "phones home" like this go
haywire if the system to which it phones home goes offline.  Just saying.

As far as packaging goes, I'm with Elvind.  Compile myself, and then
package into my own RPMs.  But I realize that is a little out of the
ordinary...
