> For example, loc isn't the best measure, but the Minix 3 kernel is at ~20kloc, while the Linux kernel is now at, what ~11mloc!? Not even redhat can audit that shit properly. (another reason we need a Hurd microkernel, but I digress) It's not like that's 11mloc in one monolithic system. The Linux kernel has a variety of different subsystems, and is maintained by a lot of people. Each subsystem is auditable, so I don't see you have a valid objection here.
