Well, shouldn't be too hard to figure that out if someone's so
inclined. I know kloc numbers have been posted for the past several
versions of PostgreSQL; someone would just need to do the same for
MySQL.
Of course, it gets a bit tricky, since you have to define what is
actually MySQL code... ie, do you count InnoDB stuff?
