So yes, I believe that the number of patches we keep in a Factory package (relative to the size of the original sources) tells us something about how usable the upstream version is for our purposes. It's not the only criterion but it cannot be disregarded entirely.
if THIS is the metric to improve the quality of our packages, then that's easy:
I hope you see the difference between your (mis)interpretation and what I actually wrote.
I'll just submit a new package that has all diffs merged into one patch, making the package entirely unmaintainable.. but hey: your metric is much better, as it's only one patch left.
Absurd examples are absurd, that's the point of them. Real life packages shouldn't be. I would also like to remind that it was Greg who suggested to compare the number of patches in systemd package with kernel, I only did what he suggested to show him it wasn't a good example to show his point.
