This is already done Novell internally by the support department, but I think
I am not allowed to share the measurements here.

However I am not a fan of measuring quality with bugzilla bugs, although I can
think that this type of statistics can give a hint if something is utterly
wrong. I would say a difference of less than 10% would not mean much.
