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.

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.

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.

Please keep in mind that the new update policy is not yet active.
