also, MandrakeUpdate should report the priority for the packages.
A lot of upgrades are simply better implementations of the package, and
some of them are security fixes. Having something like an icon which
displays the effective need to upgrade can be useful. With a simple icon
check, it becomes very simple to keep the system up-to-date against
security flaws.
a small extract of the changelog for the package should be useful as
well...
