The problem (I suspect) with measuring pattern noise is that it is more subjective. Right now, DXO sticks to measuring things that can be quantified. I like that approach.

I used to think so, but a lens+camera designer in the UK told me that the military uses several methods for objectively measuring pattern noise that work very well. I forget what they were called, but I think there were some some papers or something published about them. (I know that a FFT is involved at some point.) In any case, it's not really fair to look a gift horse in the mouth by complaining about what they don't measure.
