Is there someone who actually maintains that target? Without it, I don't think that things will improve in the future. Also, numbers alone can be quite misleading. I would try determining the list of tests that started failing, and the type of failure they indicate. Sometimes, the situation is as dire as the numbers indicate, and sometimes, we get huge numbers due to one error cascading into zillion ones. -- Joel
