The number is not mine, it is Thorsten Leemhuis' (kernel-log author and Fedora contributor)
I know about yum-plugin-security. Problem is that with Fedora you need all the updates you can get (except those that break stuff, you don't need those, but they are well disguised.)

The number is still misleading. You don't need that many updates.

If there were one or two mirror admins for mirrors in the main eu or us mirrorlist who be willing to do a little access log data mining... we could probably get a pretty good histogram look at how many of the update packages users are typically pulling over. We could probably get a read on the percentage of users who are just pulling security updates too.
