Description

This plugin solves day-one operations, mainly installing missing LSP servers. What about day-two operations, like detection of new server versions, notifications about updates, upgrading installed servers?

I can probably subscribe in github to release notifications about lsp servers and remember to do :LspUninstallServer followed bt :LspInstallServer manually next time I'm working with relevant filetype. Are there plans to automate at least some of this within plugin?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the plugin's existing :LspInstallServer and :LspUninstallServer commands and how they track installed LSP servers. Define the scope for detecting new versions, notifying users, and upgrading servers; done should cover an agreed automated day-two workflow rather than only manual reinstalling.
