There are two major issues with "missing shipping"
1. More often than not the feature or the dev that holds thing back. It's the unknown, or didn't think of side effects. Like walking the coast of California in 2 weeks. If you don't hit a river or bit of beach that's been eroded away, or a cliff, you're good.
2. As you said metric take a while to figure out. Lets say we give Comp Sci a 10th of the time to figure out metrics as we've had at sales. So.. we should be all set in say 500 years :)
