Version Check takes place on Init, Use admin_init instead?

[DD32]

At present the WordPress version update takes place on the init hook.

While i know its not a regularly called check, It makes more sense for it to only be run when a user is actually IN the admin area to see the latest updates.

(In [6921]) Do version check on admin_init. Props DD32. fixes #5928

This should be reverted, it was done so when an update was found we could do something like email the admin.

Replying to matt:

Thats fair enough.

Perhaps a hook should be added so that plugins can hook into that instead then. (if thats done, make sure it hooks into init with a late priority, so that plugins that register on the init action can hook) - just food for thought.
