I did not say it is fast. I say _I_ do not see any problems with the

Sure, but then how do you get notified of updates.

By email once they are done.

Some repos are
turned off on my system, such as the Nvidia one. Can't turn them all
off though and still run a reasonably patched system. Or am I missing
something?

Perhaps the fact that you do not do the updates automagicaly.

I don't know whether it's a problem or not. But it is an annoyance and
I know it could be better.

Then by all means give the solution to the developers and/or give us the
bugnumber that you opend and where you are working with the developers
on a solution.

This 'good enough for the girls we go with' attitude puts us not far
from the Microsoft camp IMHO. Open source is wide open for innovation
but too often we settle for much less...

Whate 'we' settle for is what 'we' want. You say you know it could be
better. That means you have the solution. Why do you not share that
solution with the development team.

Open source is wide open for innovation, but too often we settle to wait
and let others do it for us. Or people just start asuming things,
instead of knowing.
