A better idea would be to pay attention to the change logs of the addon updates and scan for any mention of it being updated for the new patch ahead of time. Then you can have all your addons updated before the patch hits and you don't have to waste 30 mins of raiding time scurrying to find updates. The majority of addon updates for 3.1 were TOC updates which are relatively minor on the "must update" scale.

Personally and I'm not trying to make a personal dig here but I prefer to know _exactly_ where to find updates for any of my addons. Makes things much easier when I need to go yell at the author for missing something out
