That's a kernel from 2014.  You don't seriously expect us to remember how
all those counters worked back then, do you?

That's a very real issue, not sarcasm:

[/usr/src/linux-next] git diff --shortstat v3.18..next-20200518
 76288 files changed, 15101441 insertions(+), 5417984 deletions(-)

You're asking about what the numbers meant 15 million lines of code ago.
