Ah, statistics. Ah metrics.
Given most outliers are now in the bug database can you perhaphs break
it down by area and, hopefully, more usefuly, look at each area's change
rate.
It is the change/progress that is important, not the absolute numbers.
A lack of change that is of concern. For instance, I worry about build
and remote problems. The former definitly makes progress, the latter
less so :-(

PS: And metrics are made to be abused. As soon as people know the
metric that they are being measured by, the quickly addapt their
behavour to make that specific metric look better.
