Oh, I'm not against distributing our binaries. Emphasis in "our".

What's the proactive way to do it in a source-only project? Are you
suggesting that all projects do include some kind of run-time check? I
already gave a short list of some software in my computer that does
not take proactive action. I could add lots more, like git, mercurial,
MinGW, Take Command, Python, Evernote, etc. Some of them have a menu
option to check for updates, or installer programs with an update
option, but they don't do it automatically.

Because we don't have (or very rarely have) critical updates. Let
GnuTLS announce their critical updates any way they see fit.

It's a change from one model of development and distribution to
another one. I like the way Emacs is right now. Source. You compile
it, and have a binary that does not depend on some mythical,
externally maintained resource.
I don't like ELPA much, either, though I understand how can be useful.
But I'm distressed by the impulse to move things from Emacs to ELPA.
