--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
We used to do this, but ran into constant problems with the number of updates
shown in the tooltip being out of sync with the number shown in Discover due to
differences in when updates have been checked for between the two, differences
in how they count updates, differences in backends, etc. In the end it was
easier and less buggy to be more generic.
Anyway, the number of updates is ultimately rather meaningless, no? Either
there are more than 0 in which you have to go look and see what's available, or
it's 0 and there's nothing to be done. In the case of the differences between
the extreme cases of "1 update" vs "500 updates", the only thing that "500
updates" tells you is that it's a big update. But you'll notice that anyway
when you open Discover or your package manager to see what's available. Maybe
there's a new kernel and major system upgrades available, or maybe it's just
that all the 527 million LaTeX packages got recompiled against a newer GCC and
the number of packages to update isn't communicating a level of risk or danger
at all. :)
