Abstract
The structural perspective promoted by the coupling and cohesion metrics precludes observing the adequate software module clustering from the perspective of software engineers when considering a large open source system. Our analysis adds evidence to the criticism of the dogma of driving design towards high cohesion and low coupling, at the same time observing the need for better models to drive design decisions. Apart from that, we see SBSE as a learning tool, allowing researchers to test Software Engineering models in extreme situations that would not be easily found in software projects.
