Back to the quarantine issue... in my brief study of software QA materials the past couple of days, one thing that stuck was the emphasis on lines of code (LOC). Granted, sheer LOC doesn't tell you everything you need to know about an app, but it's a decent, rough indicator of complexity.

So maybe LOC and/or compiled file size could be *one* factor that drives quarantine length. We could create demarcation points every-so-many-kilobytes for instance and relate them to days in quarantine (eg, 1 day per 25K file size or 2500 LOC, etc).

Does anyone know of any best practices in this regard? We're not the first to travel this path...
