Hardly.  Much of the time updates are pretty self contained and
independent of other updates.  Just because I want say pidgin updated
doesn't mean I have to get OpenOffice.org updated too, or just because I
want newer emacs doesn't mean I have to get newer eclipse+java, so on
and so forth.  There really is a difference between targeted updates
+deps and the firehose.
