LOL, thanks for making me take the last hour reading Wikipedia pages 
about computational complexity theory! :P

No, in all seriousness, I wasn't actually asking anyone to boil the 
ocean, mathematically. I think doing a couple things just making the 
categorization more obvious (a UI thing, really) and doing some 
(hopefully simple?) inspection of some control group of patches that we 
know do not introduce any code changes themselves and comparing to 
another group of patches that we know *do* introduce code changes to 
Nova, and then seeing if there are a set of E-R issues that consistently 
appear in *both* groups. That set of E-R issues has a higher likelihood 
of not being due to Nova, right?

OK, so perhaps it's not the most scientific or well-thought out plan, 
but hey, it's a spark for thought... ;)
