Linux tends to churn that amount of code in a release. I find it
interesting how large systemd has become as well:

The rate of change to Linux literally keeps me up at night during
incidents.. but attempting to tame this for an enterprise also pays the
bills.. I find it peculiar so many people are ok with this model of
computing but the jobs are good for the time being.
AIX 3.2.5 was so much leaner and meaner than 4.x that came along next...
I never did warm up to it the same way.
Twas ever thus, no?
I remember an ad campaign for AIX when it was quite new... "We took
UNIX and added millions of lines of code to it." (Or words to that
effect.) To me and to a lot of other people, this did not sound like a
good thing...
