My impression was that Alberto's questionaire was to establish a
ground truth of expert opinion against which to measure the results of
his tool(s).  This is something that would be done during the
development/evaluation phase of the tool, not something that you'd do
as a matter of course if he were able to come up with suitable
automatic algorithms.

Except for a developer who wanted to extend the critics to cover UML
1.4 or 2.x or modify the critic infrastructure to operate differently.
 That was my point about importance being context sensitive.  I agree
that for developers focused on other areas, critics could be largely
irrelevant (although the general knowledge that ArgoUML has multiple
threads of execution is probably important context for all
developers).

BTW Alberto, I'd avoid the term "hot spots" and stick to "important
classes" or something similar.  For me, hotspots is something I
asssociate with performance profiling (which may also be why Bob was
referencing code coverage utilities).
