Yes I think that makes sense but I don't think it is what I'm
observing at all. Currently among the top 5 I see four systems with 2
outstanding updates and one system with a single outstanding update.
Needless to say, I have hundreds of systems in far worse shape on
paper.

I can see value in this even though I don't think it is currently
working here as it was intended to work. I think it might be really
nice if we could tweak some settings to fine tune the criteria used to
get on the list in the future.

Thanks,
John
