From StackExchange:

If a given Drupal site is using Mollom-7.x-1.1, then pm-updatecode will say only this:

 Mollom (mollom)              7.x-1.1      7.x-1.1  Up to date

You can get more information with pm-releases:

    $ drush pm-releases mollom
    ------- RELEASES FOR 'MOLLOM' PROJECT -------
     Release         Date         Status                 
     7.x-2.x-dev     2012-Dec-19  Development            
     7.x-2.3         2012-Oct-22  Supported, Recommended 
     7.x-1.x-dev     2011-Dec-20  Development            
     7.x-1.1         2011-Jul-09  Supported, Installed

It would be nice, however, if pm-updatecode would also show this information. For example, it might say:

 Mollom (mollom)              7.x-1.1      7.x-1.1  Up to date. 7.x-2.3 also available.

I suppose you would need to use pm-download to get the new major version -- unless, perhaps, we added another option to pm-updatecode to force it to hop major versions.
