In 2015 there was 5,466 commits to the systemd repository, which was noticeably more than any year in the past.
The five thousand commits to systemd resulted in the code base becoming slightly smaller — 387,201 additions and 390,395 lines removed — in part thanks to removing some features from systemd in 2015. Systemd is up to over 700,000 lines of code (717,649 counted) spread across 2,031 files. There have been commits by 746 authors.
