New features wouldn't "suddenly appear" though. There would be periodical checks (e.g. once a week or something like that, maybe even customisable?) for updates in the script database, and a window would pop up something like:

--------------------------------------------------
| The following script updates are available:    |
--------------------------------------------------
|                                                |
| [x] Screenshot Sender                          |
| Installed version: 4.1.1, New Version: 4.1.2   |
|                                                |
| [ ] Some Other Script's Name                   |
| Installed version: 1.0.0, New Version: 1.0.1   |
|                                                |
--------------------------------------------------
|              Install selected updates | Cancel |
--------------------------------------------------


Where you can select whether or not you want to install each update individually (with Check/Uncheck all options as well I guess).

Also there could be a small link or something to the script's changelog, so people could see what features have been added/removed in the new version.

And as for their being an update that has bugs in it, well this just means it is easier for the script to be updated and the bug to be fixed.

I spent ages on that ASCII window... 8-)
