I am testing Hudson 3 before we finally upgrade. I installed the bundle war plus a number of plugins. After this, the following plugins were reported to have updates:
Static Analysis Utilities
This plug-in provides utilities for the static code analysis plug-ins.
1.48-h-1 1.47-h-1 (Installed)
Groovy Support Plugin
3.0.3 3.0.2 (Installed)
Hudson SSH Slaves plugin
Plugin allows you to manage slaves running on *nix machines over SSH.
3.0.2 3.0.0 (Installed)
Hudson Subversion Plug-in
This plugin provides support to use Subversion as an SCM in a Hudson job
2.3.6-h-1 2.3.6 (Installed)
I wonder why the latest version had not been installed initially. Also, upgrading does not work. I looks like Hudson downloads the latest versions but after a restart the same plugin updates are reported again. I can't find the latest versions on the file system either.

Doing a upgrade from hudson 2.2.1 to hudson 3 will not install the latest version of the plugin. We do not force an install of the latest plugin because some older plugins still work with with hudson 3. We leave the upgrading choice up to the user on whether to upgrade or not.

Your understanding is not quite right
- Bundled plugins can not be updated via update center until you create a dummy file called plugin.hpi.pinned. Once pinned, that plugin can be updated only to new versions in the update center.
- However, when you get a new version of bundled war and it has bundled new version of the plugin, then Hudson will not automatically update to that new version, until you unpin the plugin.
Basically, you get new versions from update center by pinning the plugin or get new versions from next version of bundled war by unpinning the plugin.
Yes, you can switch to the standard version, just by switching the war. This will bring up a one time initial setup screen which helps to update any plugin that needs update.
