After rummaging around code metrics, I've come to the conclusion that kLOC is the best estimator for 'hardness' of a codebase. There are a few ways to slice it, of course, (no-comment source only? statements only? semi-colons only?), but, fundamentally, I do not see any pragmatic use for code quality metrics besides "How many pages is this". Everything boils down to the amount of moving components in the system.
