I would dearly love to come up with a way to measure "real work" in
some fashion; I've just not, yet, figured out how to do that. I do
fear that the simple numbers we're able to generate end up creating the
wrong kinds of incentives.

Any thoughts on how to measure "consolidation effects"? I toss out
numbers on code removal sometimes, but that turns out to not be a whole
lot more useful than anything else on its own.

Thanks,

jon
