For most of the issues you have raised, I don't disagree. But from a
user point of view, it is an issue. On one weekend, I installed FC4
on two machines. With the updates, it added allot of extra download
time for each machine. If the DVD's had been current it would have
been much easier. For FC5, I plan on updating one machine and then
making it available for updating the other machine. At least this
will save some bandwidth.
