        The project sponsors don't realize that whenever they have big changes, that code smell enters the picture and when they say they need it NOW, it makes the code that much junkier.

            I dont believe such numbers. But a lot of issues are to be closed. My experience is that only "pain in the ass" helps resolving that issues. X|

              As opposed to sloppy new code; which is usually of either the copy & paste variety or from right-click insert-crap.
