high number of commits can be one indicator of "goodness"

but consider an unsolvable problem that tempts developers, yet stumps them at the same time. they could all commit a solution thinking it's the right one, yet nobody actually solves a problem.

not saying this about BSD ... obviously, but: high number of commits is not a very good metric besides indicating that people are committing.
