Features are reported on "Failed to get available update data" list on /***/admin/reports/updates

These items are local to the site and will not be available for update from drupal.org.

I suggest to distinguish between modules that are "updatable" and not and to avoid trying to find updates for custom modules and features.

Solution suggested in #1266614: Custom modules, Strongarm and Features on "Failed to get available update data" list is to implement hook hook_update_projects_alter and hide features from update list.

<?php
function mytest_update_projects_alter(&$projects) {
  // Hide a site-specific module from the list.
    unset($projects['mytest']);
}
?>

After creating this function Drupal update manager is not checking for updates of module "mytest".

I think this is a bigger issue than just relating to features as any custom module or theme also faces the same issue, I think the problem needs to be solved in the update module.

I have offered a suggestion in that queue, which will need some more work.

I agree that this isn't something Features can fix and needs to be done in the Update module. If a module doesn't have an update URL, the Update module should ignore it.
