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.
