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.
