Ok, before you guys don't upgrade at all, here's a little plugin which
will completely(!) suppress the version checker.

------- SNIP -------
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: No Update Checker
Description: *Very* rough hack to suppress the WordPress update checker.
Version: 0.1
*/

function noupdatechecker()
{
   if ( !defined('WP_INSTALLING') )
      define('WP_INSTALLING', true);

}

add_action('init', 'noupdatechecker', 9);
?>
------- SNIP -------

Save the above as noupdatechecker.php (or whatever) in
wp-content/plugins/. No whitespace must be outside the PHP tags! Then
activate the plugin in the admin panel.

Note: The plugin deactivates the version checker by defining
WP_INSTALLING, a constant that is used in other parts of the core, too.
I had a quick grep, looked at the respective positions, and tested the
associated WP features -- the normal functioning of WordPress seems not
to be impacted by this hack. Anyway, if strange things happen due to its
usage, let me know. Feedback is apprechiated (e-mail me).

Kind regards,
Alex
