Mesa is up to 1.4 million lines of code and has already seen almost 2,500 Git commits so far this year...

Clearly too much code, time to remove all that pesky stuff like 3D and resettle on nice, streamlined framebuffers.

I'd be curious to see a more specific breakdown. Is it mostly in Radeon? Nouveau? Intel? OpenGL Functions? Gallium3D Core?

I wonder whether the people complaining about systemd and its apparent bloat will care about the size of this too.

MESA doesn't have the capability to predict the arctic melt-rate or provide 3D printed exoskeletons thus far. Maybe when they get onto those much needed features of a graphics library, it will be upto par with the systemd kernel.

I have to chuckle every time I see the graph saying that gmail.com does all the work.

A while back, I wanted to put together some code review statistics, and couldn't find any decent tools to do that. So I wrote some simple scripts to generate review and commit stats for Mesa and Piglit. I then extended it to group results by organization/company. It may not be entirely accurate, but it should be a fairly decent approximation. It works by calling 'git log', so you can filter with --since, --grep, subdirectories, or whatever you like.

I found the results rather amusing, but I'll let someone else run them and interpret...

Yeah, because coding for non-standard graphics systems is the same as coding a initialization system for linux.

The systemd project isn't just initialization system. It consists of many binaries, and most aren't part of the init system.
