   It would be nice to be able to hide the "A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now." notice.

   I agree heartily. I manage numerous WP installations for other people, and I don't need them trying stuff on their own or bugging me about it before I'm ready to upgrade.

   In my case, it would have been a complete waste of time to upgrade to 2.3, since 2.3.1 came out faster than I could have gotten all the 2.3 upgrades done.

   Upgrading is a good idea, but it's still a choice, and there are many reasons people wait a while before upgrading, such as plugin compatibility and organizational constraints.

   Maybe someone will write a plugin to disable these notices :)

   Ah, never mind, they already exist and are well-publicized:

   Disable plugin updates
   
   Disable core updates

   Personally, I do not understand the point of the update notification.

   All it does is alienate the average user, while telling the power user/developer NOTHING IT/HE/SHE doesn't already know.

   One should not need a plugin to disable a stupid feature, hands down.

   Now I did not mean to turn this into a debate. I actually like the idea of a reminder, but the ability to have a close button to the right of the notice would be nice. And maybe include the following options after hitting the close button:

   "remind you to update in the next 7 days"
   "remind you to update in a month"

   I also new about the plugins, but I don't want to disable the updates. Just the ability to close the notice.
