But is that different than at FC6 release time (I don't know, but I
assume it was similar if not even more)? We're not really doing
anything different that made updates increase, I would even think that
it is more difficult to pass updates since they have to be pushed
through bodhi.

You only feel like there are that many updates, because they are now
all using bodhi while before F7 only 1/4th (Core) would become visible
that way.

I think Fedora's success is partly due to being updated that way.
