Mod Updates from Non-Repo Source
For mods that don't need to be linked to a repo for a specific version, it would be great to have a way for these to auto-update from their respective sources. Whether that be a Github repo, ED user files, etc. I'm reminded of mod managers that I used for World of Warcraft, Curse and WowUp.io(which are similar to a repo themselves) where developers pushed their updates to a central location, and then the mod manager helped update local clients. I'd love similar functionality for DCS mods. Today they feel disparate across repos, there's no central location outside of ED user files/forums, and they don't auto-update to get bug fixes.
There's definitely a need to connect to individual repos for server-specific and squadron-specific mods (or versions), but for other mods that aren't version specific, it would be awesome to have some type of auto updating functionality. Here are some mod examples that fall into this category:

Maybe this is easier to achieve now that ED User files now supports email notifications on version updates.
