Abstract	Today, programmers are forced to maintain a software system based on their gut feeling and experience. This pa- per makes an attempt to turn the software maintenance craft into a more disciplined activity, by mining for frequently ap- plied changes in a version control system. Next to some ini- tial results, we show how this technique allows to recover and study successful maintenance strategies, adopted for the redesign of long-lived systems
