Interesting. cloc counted even less — 360K of C code, 35K of headers — on the current master.

If you add blank+comment+code, you get remarkably close to the results of the parent comment.

I've noticed a trend on Phoronix -- most articles and especially articles on controversial topics (systemd, BSDs, pulseaudio, etc.) are very low effort. Like literally pasting a few images from GitStats (like this case), quoting a mailing list entry with no context, or running your standard desktop test suite and issuing a performance verdict based on it...
Seems to me like the main purpose for such articles is not to inform, but to generate clicks by having a controversial project in its title...
It's bad journalism. /r/linux for example has a blanket ban on Phoronix articles and classifies them as blog spam.
Most of the "announcement" type articles are mailing list quotes without context that don't link to the original source, but link to even more Phoronix articles.
$ tokei C: 492003, C Header: 58547
Total line count at 889658, "code" count at 716316, but 202314 of that is plain text which could signify documentation. It's still a lot, but not even nearly close the headline.
