On my Centos 3.4 boxes that were up to date a day or two ago, yum wants to update just about everything today. Is that normal?

Yes ... we shifted to 3.5 from 3.4 yesterday.
All the security updates of update 5 were done when released. The Bugfix (RHBA) and Enhancements (RHEA) updates were made into CentOS 3.5. After completing all archs (s390, s390x, ia64, x86_64, i386) and releasing new ISOs, the default released CentOS-3 was moved from 3.4 to 3.5.
So, this is all the enhancement and bugfix (non-security related) updates that were released in EL4 update 5.
3.5 is available: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/000308.html
3.5 is default: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/000383.html
---------------------------
Same is true for CentOS-4, that was moved to from CentOS 4.0 to CentOS 4.1 yesterday as well.
For info see the following from the announce list...
4.1 is available:
i386: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/000310.html
ia64: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/000309.html
x86_64: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/000387.html
......
4.1 is default: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/000389.html

Thanks, but I thought that 3.5 was just the cumulative updates to 3.x rolled into a new iso. If that's the case, why would an up to date 3.4 download everything again?

It should not download everything again ... it should replace everything here

that was released between 2005-05-16 and 2005-05-19 and is a RHEA or a RHBA.
That is a significant number of packages.
RedHat released these as update 5, we incorporated them into CentOS 3.5. Any that were RHSA's were integrated ASAP on the day of release, as they are security fixes ... the RHEA and RHBA come as a group afterwards since they are enhancements and bugfixes.
Those should be the packages you see trying to be upgraded.

OK, I guess they are downloading all of the headers again but just those updated packages.
