I don't know a lot about it, but my understanding has always been that comparing across queries is difficult at best, so that would argue for removing it, but I haven't done any research into it. I think it has been in Lucene for a good long time, so it may be that the history of why it is in there is forgotten. Also, do you have a sense of it's cost in terms of performance?

What would the consequences be of eliminating Similarity.queryNorm()? I cargo-culted that method when porting, but now I'm going through and trying to refactor for simplicity's sake. If I can zap it, I'd like to.

I infer from the deafening silence that few people if any care about queryNorm, or have even contemplated what it's there for.
