Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-825:
----------------------------------
+0 I'd say. The patch is unobtrusive enough to not bother me. The functionality
is not obscure or illogical. The thing about it is that it is sort of endorsing
one way to trim outliers from final clusters (and trimming is a good thing to
support), when that way of doing it seems problematic as it's a fixed threshold.
