have to use updater now?

[Shasriel]

I've noticed with the addition of the updater the Profit UI in downloads has not been updated lately. Is it basically now if we want updated files we have to use the updater ? I use a lot of the "other" additions (ie small vertical group window) and I will say I am not all that UI savvy so I am afraid I will mess up my UI with the auto updater and trying to figure out the ignore thingy. So anywho, if I don't use the auto updater am I just sol?
