Hardly. Including standard libraries in the line count wouldn't mean much, unless you're the compiler.
Doing it this way lets you know how many lines are likely to have problems. Not to mention how much code the guy wrote.

- ktm5j 8y agoThis isn't just some standard library though, and what do you mean by "wouldn't mean much, unless you're the compiler"? ... The code in X11 libraries is infinitely closer to a window manager than what this guy wrote. This is barely anything at all added to work that other people did already.
