I assume you mean kernel-2.6.13-1.1529_FC5.src.rpm.

Not all patches in the src.rpm are applied.

Number of patch files is irrelevent.  How many actual changes are in 
those patches?

Fedora applied patches:

applied=`grep -i ^%patch kernel-2.6.spec \
	| awk '{print $1}' \
	| sed -e's/^%patch/^Patch/' \
	| grep -i -f - kernel-2.6.spec \
	| awk '{print $2}'`

ls `echo $applied` | wc -l
88

diffstat $applied
[...]
 817 files changed, 143397 insertions(+), 4911 deletions(-)

How many of those changes are bugfixes with a low risk vs. new
features?
