Is there a way to see if there are going to be huge updates?
Perhaps it would help to plan around pushing relatively more important
updates by seeing what is the load on the machinery. In this particular
case I'm after we have CVEs to publish co-related with RHEL advisory
which went out yesterday so Fedora updates just got into a wave of
texlive, but for future doing FreeIPA releases we may simply see if
moving release a day or two into future would allow us to escape the
wave.
