--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

as only settings related to package.el in my init file.

Whenever I do M-x package-list-packages (once each day), I see a huge
amount of new packages -- ~ 2600 today for example -- most of them from
Melpa.  I guess these are mostly packages with a new version available,
but they appear as "new".  It behaves like this since some weeks.

Is anyone else seeing this?  I find this inconvenient, since I
don't see when (really) new packages were added.


Thanks in advance,

Michael.
