It doesn't count the stable branches (2.6.x.y). Impressive, it's mostly exponential. If dev keeps same pace, we should break the 100MB at linux 3.19. You can get the graph on my blog, I provide the data and the gnuplot batch file for graphing/fitting: http://ngc891.blogdns.net/?p=92 It may interest some people :-) -- Jérôme Pinot http://ngc891.blogdns.net/
