Rate of Change

This href="http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0310.1/1221.html">message
from Larry McAvoy to the Linux Kernel Mailing List is pretty
interesting. They have 179 changes per day committed to the Linux
kernel for the last year - a remarkable rate of change. Someone href="http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0310.1/1275.html">later
in the thread points out some stats for href="http://www.kde.org">KDE as well, which has even more.

What is remarkable is that, particularly with Linux, it is a live
codebase, with people using versions of it right back to 2.0.39, and
right up to the latest 2.6.0-test9.
