Make it possible to "subscribe" to AMA plugins, so that you will get an email when updates become available.

I always thought it would make more sense to have them in the "Avid Marketplace". That would make it incredibly easy to download them and see if you are current. And it would get folks used to using the Avid Marketplace which would theoretically be good for Avid.

Nah, it'll never happen.

Or better yet, be able to install/upgrade them from within MC. That would be too easy for the user though so scratch that.

I think the problem is we have to deal with various websites to get a handful of common AMA plugins. It is inconsistent. I don't understand why you can't make it part of the installation or at least similar to how you package Nvidia drivers.

If there is no compatible plugin at release then leave it empty. If a compatible version exists package it.
