   Absolutely yes.  PIXY can effectively help the first step in many cases
in automatically extracting useful measurement *candidates*.  What we need
is the second-step automatization (and a more basic improvement of the data
quality by introducing proper catalogs and measureing algorithm, of course).
This is the very step PIXY should proceed.
