Keep in mind that updates now encompass Core/Extras and *new* added
packages. A better question would be to ask, of the packages users
actually have INSTALLED are updates really churning faster now than
before? I would expect no if you look at Core + Extras of previous
releases.
Presto would be the next important step to formalize to make the
updating process more tolerable to users.
