Abstract
Conclusion: Before undertaking a code reorganization based on a bad smell report, use a framework like XTREE to check and ignore any such operations that are useless; i.e. ones which lack evidence in the historical record that it is useful to make that change. Note that this use case applies to both manual code reorganizations proposed by developers as well as those conducted by automatic methods.
