I agree that it might be hard to measure the effect of particular actions (e.g. changes in
procedures).  However, it is *not* hard to measure overall trends in performance, and
to break these trends down between areas and types of documents.

My understanding is that the Simcoe dataset continues beyond 2001, and that with some
relatively modest effort, a detailed analysis could be produced quantifying how the IETF
has performed.  This would give us a window into what the actual results have been.
