based on personal experience, I'd say that number was at the '9' mark.
Once you go double digit, and you have those many machines in one
location, a local repo is the way to go. Perhaps then with one of them (
either a machine or a VM instance ) doing auto nightly updates, and
running a test to make sure all is still well and sending out a small
email to the admin with a OK or 'Trouble found in updates'
