Stefano,

I'm not interested in these numbers, personally (well, other than the usual 
fishing stories at summit after umpteen beers; I did 14 bazillion reviews in 
Kilo, how many did you do?).

My concern (earlier in the thread) is that there is a metric. Once there's a 
metric someone attempts to use it to measure performance. And once someone uses 
a metric to measure performance, it influences behavior.

If I propose that a +0 should now get counted, given how overloaded the CI is, 
I don't want the system to get abused by wanton 'recheck's which start to count 
towards performance.

Personally real metrics are things like new features, time to merge, time to 
resolve bugs and those are the kinds of things you measure in your QAR's.

My 2c worth,

-amrith
