Oh that's rich. That is rich. The [Flagged] tag is what really makes it. I'm tempted to screenshot that post and make an NFT from it. It really does capture something about the zeitgeist.

Seriously, though, read the article. The 1.2M lines includes removed lines from refactoring. So, it is not completely made up, as implied in that comment. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=systemd-...

Including the number of lines in static tables and documentation hardly seems like a meaningful comparison.
