No, I compared that number to those displayed in bodhi, assuming they
would be the updates count instead of the tickets count. What is being
displayed in bodhi is inconsistent and misleading, as it says "3 pending"
for EPEL 4 in one place, but "7 pending" in another place. I just didn't
want to compare with F12 updates, which has a much lower package count
than FE6. Or F13, which is one arch less than FE6.
