Building on the select ui for selecting categories I think it would be appropriate to have additional categories for 'updates', 'disabled', etc. and allow opening the ui to a specific selection. If notification of updates is added back it would then be possible to open the ui and show all extensions and themes - or any other add-on that can in the future be updated - that have updates available. There could also be an option to 'For All Addons: Update All' similar to the commands listed after 'For All Extensions: Find Updates'. With this type of an approach it should be possible to either provide user defined categories or for an extension to do so (I prefer having an extension provide this). Since only specific actions are available for each type of item it should be possible to display different types of items in the same view as well. This would allow 'For All Addons: Find Updates', etc.
