I don't think it's a stupid assumption on your part at all. Quite a
reasonable one, actually.
I *do* think it's a design flaw, however, to make this "thing that
could easily change thereby breaking the application" dependent on a
software update when it can *very easily* be made a user-configurable
item. You could even hide the UI if you wanted to, or have a canned
support response containing the command line "defaults write ..."
'fix' if the URL changes. That way, the users can fix for themselves
while you compile and distribute (and notify of) the update.
