What I'd like to see is something like

    Scanning processes... 

    Scanning processor microcode... 

    Scanning linux images... 


    Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.

    The processor microcode seems to be up-to-date.

    No services need to be restarted.

    No containers need to be restarted.

    No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

    No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on 
this host.

    No installed packages are looking for a new maintainer.

And ideally, that check would be quick and use information already on 
the system at this point, maybe a supplemental file under indices/ that 
can be downloaded during an update.
