25 million lines of code
I did not even imagine the kernel was so large.

I know very little about kernels, but I imagine as the kernel continues to evolve and older pieces become obsolete, there is a danger that it could become too unwieldy. Crushed by its own weight so to speak. Perhaps they should consider creating a new kernel and implementing it when it is ready, instead of continuing to patch the old one?
