One problem with any metric is that the metric becomes a driving factor
in itself. Consider the whole whitespace issue, for example.
As far as the whitespace issue is concerned, we may want to consider
just setting a flag day -- probably immediately before an -rc1 release
-- and just run "cleanfile" on the whole tree. In-flux patches are
still appliable with "patch -l", and by now we should have enough tools
to avoid adding new whitespace problems, so we can just kill this issue
once and for all.
