 > It is a contradiction to the behavior in the network admin.

 I would say the inconsistency is not necessarily in the counter placement,
 but rather in that the network admin menu does not have an Appearance
 item, and has the Themes item at the root level instead. Currently, both
 menus have the counter next to Themes item, which seems consistent enough
 to me.

 (widgets, menus, etc.) - if there are in the future, we could add them up
 to show an overall count on "Appearance" (and not just show waiting theme
 updates)

 As experienced users, we know that under the Appearance menu only themes
 support updates, but for those who don't have a lot of experience yet, I
 think it might be confusing as to what the counter next to the Appearance
 menu item is supposed to mean, and what they are supposed to do to remove
 it.

 I would suggest bringing up the ticket at one of the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/meetings/ Design team meetings] to see how
 others feel about the counter placement, and we can iterate on it with
 more feedback :)
