I don't like LOC measurements.  It's a measurement which can be
seriously misleading.  There are so many ways it can be wrong (IMO),
that I'd hate to have it posted.

(I'll admit that I sometimes check how many lines I've changed,
but I wouldn't want to compare that number to the number of lines
anyone else has changed)
