But seriously, nobody is forced to update and thanks to bodhi and iirc the yum-security plugin[1] it is even possible to install only security updates. Also I guess there are many updates from Extras Packages, that are released now because of the Freeze, so the amount of updates will be less the next weeks. And the user in me likes up to date software very much. And to make it more fun for users with a slow connection, yum-presto will help a lot more. But maybe there should be also delta-xml files for the repository metadata, because it takes very long to download these, too, with a slow connection.
