           Summary: Too many packages to upload!
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

        AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For sure, I have the wrong category for this, but my complaint is that perhaps
the distribution flow needs some re-thinking. 

It seems just plain wrong, that I download a 3.5 Gbyte dvd image, which takes
several hours, and then, when I install it, I have to spend another day getting
more up-to-date versions of stuff on that image.

Yesterday, after installing a new 9-Alpha download, the package updater tells me
there are 701 packages to update!

Well, I propose that the images be updated weekly or monthly to help reduce the
download traffic. I mean, a hundred packages might be acceptable, but 700 or
1500? That's ridiculous!
