I'm sitting here watching F19 try to downgrade itself to F18, with screenful after screenful flashing by. I know that, if/when it completes, it will tell me how many rpms it means to change; what I want, though (out of admittedly idle curiosity), is the number of all the rpms on the whole machine. Is there a command for that??

perhaps: rpm -qa | wc -l

I would say yes. This is what I got on my system.
[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ rpm -qa | wc -l 1594 [mlapier@mushroom ~]$ name CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

[bobg@box10 ~]$ rpm -qa | wc -l 1618
and 1561 on another similar system both running F-19 64 bit installed from XFCE Live spins.

I don't know what this is counting--I must have missed the first post. Anyway, I ran it in my pclos-kde-32, and go this:
[doug@linux1 ~]$ rpm -qa | wc -l 2352
So what is it that I have 2352 of?

installed packages? what about look at the output of "rpm -qa" without counting?

grep out fc19 or fc18 or so Fedora N versions, for possible dublicates (in that case, next step package-cleanup) rpm -qa | grep fcN | wc -l
or maybe you have a lot of installed devel's rpm -qa | grep \-devel | wc -l

why in the next step?
this is a completly wrong advise, there maybe F18/F19 packages which are *not* dupes and so the grep shows nothing with value
"package-cleanup --dupes" is your friend as well as "package-cleanup --cleandupes"

"rpm -qa" lists all installed packages on its standard output. "wc -l" counts all the lines in its standard input. Pipe one into the other and it's telling you that that you have 2352 rpm packages installed. Simple.

I can't believe someone else hasn't said this already, "Don't run commands that you don't know what they do."
If you'd hopped into the middle of some other thread, the command might have been one that would screw up your system.
What you do have is minus 2352 brownie points, now.

why in the world does someone *downgrade* a installed system which is not supported and after 2 months with F19 not nbeeded at all

You may try rpmreaper, it's like aptitude for RPM based systems, for easier package management.
