I don't understand why we celebrate that. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I thought there was a consensus that loc are a bad metric at the best of times.

Edit: It's commits, not lines of code. Now I feel dumb.

They aren't talking about LoC, but their commit count. Helps to actually read the post.

I would also have though that the million LoC milestone was achieved a long time ago, perhaps even before the initial release
