[Plugin: Jetpack] Displaying error condition more notably

Recently I had a connection error to Jetpack’s servers. I did not know this error condition existed until I clicked on the Jetpack menu item on my Dashboard when I saw this at the top of the page “Jetpack is not able to talk to WordPress.com” (It was either above or below the text “Improve your site with Jetpack”; I can’t remember exactly). Is there anyway to put some sort of indicator next to the Jetpack Dashboard menu item that there is some sort of error; kind of like they do when there are plugin updates and put a number next to the Plugin menu item on the dashboard?
