Updates stats help wanted

[Johannes Lips]

Hi,

perhaps it is possible to add the overall count of packages available in 
fedora. So we could calculate the number of updates relative to the 
total number of packages. To me this seems to be a very helpful 
indicator to see if there really were more updates or just more packages 
which of course would need more updates.

Should be easy to implement, or?
