Maybe they should think about increasing their release cycle, that sounds completely unmanageable.
After 10 years in my company I have around 1,500 commits in total, it would take me 390 years to author 60K.
The majority of these commits are to keep packages up to date. Easy to get an incredibly high number of commits when nixpkgs is a monorepo containing the definition of 140000 packages
Good to know. I am entirely against monorepos but in the very specific case of NixOS I get how it can actually make sense.
