Thankfully all the giant flamewars and new policies didn't make

think twice about the users, as we already have 140 updates with a
combined size of _over_ 750MB on x86_64,
This number is kind of irrelevant as nobody will have to install them
all.
And how was this counted? I see 2384 stable updates, but they are tagged
F13 final, so they are no updates although they went trough the update
system. I see 75 pending updates ATM.
biggest 5 are:
6.2M wesnoth-1.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
12M hanazono-fonts-20100222-2.fc13.noarch.rpm
48M xmoto-0.5.3-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
260M wesnoth-data-1.8.1-1.fc13.noarch.rpm
318M openarena-0.8.5-1.fc13.noarch.rpm
Although I'm one of the persons who opposed to the high number of
updates in the past I don't see anything wrong with these. I don't have
any of them installed so there is nothing for me to update. But people
who play these games will surely appreciate the new upstream versions.
This being said I think we should decrease the number of
* useless updates. New upstream versions of a game do not fall
into this category, they are useful for the gamers.
* updates that affect a large count of users and don't offer much
value.
...the last being particularly "nice", in that the package
hasn't been
updated for almost a year but now we get 2 300MB+ presents at once.
I only see one openarea update in bodhi, openarena-0.8.5-1.fc13. I agree
however that this update should have come earlier as 0.8.5 was already
released on February 23rd.
Welcome to the new Fedora updates, much like the old Fedora updates.
Hey, at least Kevin should be happy.
Please keep in mind that the new update policy is not yet active.
