Site Health => Background Updates

Description

The Site Health => Background Updates shows a "critial security issue", because I have disabled background updates. The output also notes that WordPress is version controlled via Git.

This is not a "critical security issue" - this is exactly how I have set up the site, and treats a version controlled instance as a problem. The same checks also noted that the site is running WP 5.5 (released yesterday).

Where a site is noted as being version controlled, it's a reasonable expectation that the people operating it have done so intentionally, and don't need a "critical security issue" alert which it clearly isn't.

Proposal: where a site is version controlled, by all means note that this is detected but make this "info" level, not "critical security issue".

Hiya,

Thank you for the report, and welcome to the WordPress trac!

I've marked this as a duplicate of #47982, which was implemented in r46281 and changed the state of these to recommendations, and not critical issues when a system is version controlled.
