Actually, I like the effort, even if I share some of the concerns
of the people who ridicule it. But it won’t motivate *me* to fix
the smoke system, and I assume most other people who might care
about CPANTS in an “I’m just a user” sort of way will feel the
same. I also don’t see how those involved with the smoke system
but not CPANTS will be motivated by CPANTS to fix the smoke
tests.

So right now, the metric will not contribute in any useful way to
anything. If you want the smoke system to be fixed, well gee,
you’ll have to fix the smoke system.

I’m not trying to discourage you. My point is just that if you
want to achieve what you want to achieve (and it’s a good thing
to want to achieve), you’ll need to spend your effort
differently.

I’d volunteer to help if I didn’t already have my plate full with
more committments than I can manage. Let’s not waste our limited
tuit bugdets on things that won’t help.
