I'm concerned that we're just giving people a loaded gun that we hope they don't shoot themselves with...particularly when the end result didn't really do much useful other than pretty up their source. If the tool can somehow analyze the transitive results of the changes, great. Actually I think this part of the tool might be the best piece to have so you can analyze results across any pom changes, not just sorting.
