That's enough for ten OSes by themselves.

Poettering is a god among men.

It's just an init system guys, no big deal.

mfw it's all slavs and jap's that write bloat code
inb4 they're all NSA/Redhat employees, so it doesn't matter

If anything this news is a bad thing. Projects should not be striving to have as many lines as possible, but rather seek to get the best bang for their buck for lines added. Adding extra lines introduces extra maintainability issues and leave more potential for bugs to be introduced.

I think the LOC reaching a million is incidental, not a goal for them.

If that's important, then why uselessd is a dead project? Probably because systemd is still modular.

/sbin/init (the actual PID 1) is still just 1.7 MB. That's 40% smaller than /usr/bin/unar, somehow.

1.7MB + a gigabyte of shared libraries.
