No, not all 737, but when I update one of my machines that I didn't update |
| 25 |
in those 6 months (perhaps except security updates), I'm going to have to |
| 26 |
remerge the majority of them. There might be quite some trivial updates |
| 27 |
in those, but I wouldn't be able to find out before I update. |

ps. Even if it were 50 updates (which happens often enough for me), it |
| 32 |
would be too much to search info for all of them. |
