Not knowing the build environment or seeing the insides or being a packages/maintainer, I would agree with Jason on both accounts above as the reason for updates. And #2 is especially dead on. Yes your going to see lots more updates, or at least the perception, but actually *look* at the updates and see what they are. More than 25%, if not 50%, are not even the *core* packages, just addons. Not everyone is updating to those, and I bet not even 50% of the userbase is even using the addons part. So I wouldn't worry so much about how many updates. And besides, I see it all the time, someone reports that "upstream released a new version, 1.2.3-5", can you please put out an update.
