Out of curiosity, can someone tell me how many pages there are of 4e material? Last time I looked at the 4e errata it was 100 pages at 12 point with lots of margins and dead space. It could probably be shrunk to 40-70% of it's current size. So are we looking at a 100/1000 ratio or 33/10000 ratio. I really don't know how big 4e is at the moment.
There is a HUGE amount of 4E material now.
Looking at the latest update of the DDI Compendium...
There are 2,378 feats. Only 161 feats appear in the original 4E Player's Handbook, so there are almost fifteen times as many feats in the game now.
There are 6,298 powers. Only 707 powers appear in the PHB, so there are almost nine times as many powers now.
There are 7,959 items. Only 720 items appear in the PHB, so there are over eleven times as many items now.
There are 433 paragon paths. Only 31 paragon paths appear in the PHB, so there are almost fourteen times as many paragon paths now.
There are 82 epic destinies. Only 4 epic destinies appear in the PHB, so there are over twenty times as many epic destinies now.
And . . . looking through the latest compiled update document, there are only 164 powers errata'ed or changed, for example. Out of 6,298 powers in the game.
So, it's safe to say that the "108 pages" of updates (with plenty of white space and explanations) represents a tiny amount of actual changed rules text compared to the total rules text for all of 4E at this point.
