the linecount jump in the code-quality table was because KVM was merged into the x86 tree
under arch/x86/kvm/ and the lguest code was merged under arch/x86/lguest.
also, we've got a new sub-architecture, more debug features such as kgdb, etc. etc. - each of
which is extra code.
Since v2.6.24-rc1 (which was the first big unification step with 600 unification patches)
there were more than 1600 commits in arch/x86/. Every time we reduce size with a unification
some new feature eats it up ;-)
All in one: life didnt stop with unification :-)

Thanks a lot :)
Doesn't this mean that the error/kloc figure is a bit biased then? Although the conclusion
remains the same: it decreased.
Anyway, I do trust you clever people do the Right Thing, as the quality of my environment as a
whole clearly shows.
I just love Linux :)
Merge window opens, kgdb merged

What errors are you talking about?
Nastygrams that even checkpatch.pl itself calls "WARNING"s?
