There can be such a comparison here, since both the projects diverged from a common codebase, so commit stats, etc., are relevant.

For the other projects, they may be in various states of maturity (e.g. upstart vs systemd), so commit stats don't always show the right picture (it may show where a lot of development happens, but feature parity is what is necessary to compare those projects.).

So, in this case, such an article is helpful.

Also, a lot of work in LO has been on cleaning up the codebase, so it's not directly translated to features, but it translates to a better environment for developers, and hence, future development of new features.
