I merged a branch from Bilal Akhtar for update-manager the other day to add unity quicklist support (thanks Bilal!). While at it I added the updates count to the launcher too. Small change, but I really like it

This number is entirely meaningless to users. Size in MB, fewest number of non -desktop packages that could contain the proposed updates as deps, etc, would be much more useful.

The number is no more or less meaningless to “users” switching from alternative platforms receiving updates from Apple/Windows update that they more than likely don’t read the KB articles for anyways.

rather than number of updates, it might be nicer to optionally choose an icon that appears if (1) non critical updates are available (2) critical security updates are available, in a similar way to how the old update-manager applet works.
i don’t really want to know the number of updates, just whether there are security updates or bug-fixes waiting
