Re: [dwm] Ohloh exposes codebloat

Interesting, but to measure bloat, it should also take into account a
more pertinent software stack AND the code complexity. Indeed, for
instance if you take eclipse and stack the Java VM (huge, code
complexity close to insanity, hardly maintainable by those who coded
it)-->BIG OUCH!!
