 * It was my understanding that this plugin updates all plugins not just once that
   come from WordPress repo. I was using it on one of my sites and it was updating
   the core plugin from wordpress repo but the additional extensions plugin that
   showed up in the wordpress update window did not get updated. So I have to assume
   that it only works with wordpress repo updates.

 * It can work with 3rd party plugins, but they need to use WordPress’ update routines,
   not their own code.
 * If there’s a plugin you want to see work with Automatic Updates, send the developers
   this link, for how to fix their update code:
