Yes. I think that's the only way a PvP could actually work. I would 
imagine that it could be quite fiddly and the reason why it wasn't been 
done yet.
But, clearly for this scheme to work, it need to remove the human part 
in the equation as much as possible.

It still wouldn't be perfect, as there would still be stuff that can't 
be accounted for (bug, laziness, performance issues,...) , but clearly 
it would work better than a simple flat sequence of number that is 
suppose to represent many different aspects of a package and the 
author's understanding of a policy.
