Exactly.  The purpose of the install and live media is to have a system
that functions.  Regarding the 500+ updates...   No one is forcing you to
update your system - and if you do, as another person pointed out,
deltarpms will reduce the amount of bandwidth required.  If you wait for
updates to stop before you decide to go GA, you're going to be waiting
forever.  Additionally, artificially manipulating the process more than it
already is serves no real purpose.  It just adds additional work with no
real benefit.  Eventually there are going to be updates.  This seems to me
about coming up with additional arbitrary criteria for a system that by its
nature is always going to be arbitrary.  I think there are more pressing
issues and better ways for the community to spend it's resources.
