Let's try something different this time, and break the contributions down by the different functional areas of the kernel.
Presenting the material in this way is really interesting and illuminating. I'd often frequently been intrigued when trawling through the source tree by how little proportionally the 'core' code takes up, but still, only 5% surprised me.

What would be interesting would be to see these number for other OSs! Would they be much higher by virtue of more drivers in linux (perhaps not than windows?). Would the filesystems be proportionally way less on other OSes also contributing to a "smaller" (not really, just %) core on linux?
