Shiny Updates is a WordPress Core Feature Plugin.
It replaces The Bleak Screen of Sadness™ (example) with a simpler and more straight forward experience when installing, updating, and deleting plugins and themes. 
Progress updates for these actions don’t add a benefit, they are disruptive and confusing. Shiny Updates deals with these details behind the scenes, leaving users with clear actions and results.
Development for this plugin takes place at GitHub.

Shiny Updates

Why isnt this in core, who wants to see the ugly installation screen ? the only thing i would be worried about and hopefully is considered if there is a problem with installation does it give a valuable error ? other than that we must get rid of the ugly install screen's



Needs to be in core
