I swear it wasn't that long ago since I last updated...

Seems there is an unusually large number of TeXLive updates today. I update when I think about it, but usually that's before I reboot for a kernel update and I believe I did that earlier this month.

Is this a result of the recent TeX conference?

Not saying I mind, it's just rare for me to see over 200 in an update let alone over 800.
