From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Deleting 107k lines of code is so much more based than adding 107k lines
It really is. I always make a note to point out how much code is removed in PRs I review
Code is a liability.
You could probably build a tool that assesses the risk of any given PR based on this and several other signals. PRs with enough risk should require justification and sign off.
