MINIX 3 is about the same size as MINIX 2 -- a bit less than 30,000 lines of code. I wouldn't call this bloated. It lacks some important features, and only supports a few common devices, but it's still fairly impressive for a POSIX-compatible OS. At the very least it's a successful proof of concept.
