- drewg123 8y agoSure, I initially though that might be it. Eg, maybe some of the non-x86 support from 4.4BSDL was not pruned out of 2.0, for example. But I checked, and 2.0 only has i386 support. What strikes me as odd is that the very next minor release (2.0.5) is listed as 2.1M LOC, while 2.0 is listed as 6.1 MLOC. That's a reduction of 66%. Looking at a diff between the 2 releases, I do not see anything to explain that.
