That is right that "complete" areas might not gany much edits (or maybe no 
edits at all) but you can see that on the edit history you will get a 
submit-curve that has a lot of edits within a timeperiod until you get at 
thet point it's getting less end less till you have almost no edits at all.

So a calculation should allways include the history of submitted changes.
