1. New features - Updating is only needed if you want the new features.
2. Minor bug fixes - Updating is needed to fix minor/cosmetic bugs.
3. Major bug fixes - Updating is highly recommended to fix bugs that cause data loss and/or interfere with vBulletin or other modifications.
4. Security fix - Updating is urgently needed to fix security flaws.

The advantage to this is that in the notification email, users can decide if they need to upgrade now or if it's not all that necessary.

Just an idea. What do you think?

Great idea. This would benefit anybody who installs mods.
