Kernel Rate of Change

,----[ Quote ]
| "I re-ran some statistics the other day on our kernel development rate, and 
| changed my formula after Andrew accused me of severely undercounting the rate 
| of change," noted Greg KH during a discussion about the stability of the 
| Linux kernel while undergoing significant changes.

The future of Linux: what it means for Wikipedia

,----[ Quote ]
| Kernel release 2.6.24 came out on January 24, just before linux.conf.au 
| began. Corbet estimates 2.6.25 will be finalised sometime around April. 
| 
| That rapid cycle represents an astonishing volume of new code. "We are adding 
| about 2000 lines of code to the kernel every single day of the year, without 
| exception," Corbet said. "Nobody can really keep up with this [on their own] 
| any more. It's an amazing process, and it seems to be working."   
| 
| The project which those numbers immediately bring to mind is Wikipedia, which 
| uses similar open source principles, along with an "anyone can contribute" 
| ethos.
