The question for webdev is: do we have existing services we can repurpose or tweak for this?
When I needed to implement downloadable graphics driver/system blacklists, I piggybacked on the existing AMO blocklist ping. The blocklist already has the ability to dispatch arbitrary blocklist items; you simply observe blocklist-items-YOURITEMNAME like <https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/xpwidgets/GfxInfoBase.cpp#514> has. Then you get called when the blocklist encounters eg <gfxItems>.
In general, yes, we absolutely need a generalized downloaded-update service. Benoit Jacob has talked about extending the graphics blacklist to be such a thing, but we might already have it in the form of the XML-based AMO blocklist.
