Drush

Maintaining install profiles I am constantly having to maintain drush make files of contributed modules. Drupal.org used to display which modules were out of date on the dev release node, which made it easy, but that's gone now. I asked another distribution maintainer at Drupalcon a few weeks ago, and he just used the update status list. That works, but it's annoying to wait for the updates locally, sometimes having to run cron, and a little tedious to go through all the list of modules.
