I am wondering if there is a way to mark a specific module as "don't update". Reason is that sometimes you need to apply patches to contrib modules which may not have made it into the next release and thus blindly replacing the installed version by the offered tarball would cripply a site.

I am turning this into a feature request: Would it be possible to display the "Notes" field on the main status page next to the "Ignored" field? This way it is easy to see why a module is being ignored.

Title: How to mark modules as "do not update" » If settings say to ignore a module, print the notes on the status report

yeah, that's probably a good idea. the only thing i worry about is that the table is going to get so busy and cluttered that it'll be hard to use. especially given the stuff mentioned at http://drupal.org/node/149918 ... but, if you added a setting to ignore, that's probably more important than anything else, so it should be more visible.
