What do you find it useful for? It's not clear to me (or many others here)
what it is useful for, other than statistics for statistics sake.

I do recall that it was discussed - IIRC, the support for it was luke-warm
at best.

Oh *my*. What a sentence.
Since you don't seem to be much in the mood for productive discussion on
this point, I shall just inform you directly that utility of FSFS goes far
beyond satisfyin "some whiner's complaints".
Also, you appear to be severely confused about the open-source development
model. People created FSFS because they _wanted_ to, and volunarily donated
their time towards that goal. There's not some central arbiter doling out
programming assignments.
Furthermore, note that has not even been a consensus on these lists that
lines-of-code stats are "useful".

/me mutters something about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
If LOC stats are so useful to you (and I *really* am curious to know why,
because I genuinely don't understand), why not just write a post-commit
script which runs "svn diff", calculates the stats, and then appends them to
the log message?
Max.
