But at least we have those numbers there, for a first time. Those
numbers (and some additional to come) can be a good start to measure a
code quality at one side and code understandability at the other. Which
seems not to be one and the same thing, code quality seems not necessary
lead to code understability. So question is if our code quality
standards are actually good or should be redefined?

Specially of you look at first two distribution graphs [1] for nr. of
methods in classes and class inheritance depth, together with
package/class/method numbers.

These show me the two different approaches, school of thought if you
like, to quality/understandability questions. And that's what I actually
wanted to find out with those measurements: to objectively show those
differences and open a discussion about that. To improve Aida, and
subsequently other web frameworks. This can be at the end a contribution
to Smalltalk as a whole!
