If a crate only takes 35 lines to reproduce. Why is the author worried that it is unmaintained?

That crate is probably done, it does what it needs to do. And at 35 lines there's not a lot of room for bugs.

Just use the crate instead of rewriting the same 35 lines for each project that needs them.

Or publish your own 35 line crate as an alternative. Then you can use your 35 lines instead of that guy's 35 lines.

I don't understand the LoC bit. First he says the project+dependencies is 3.6MLoC. then says that the Linux kernel is 27.8MLoC, then says his project is 7. 7 what? 7%? That's not right. 7MLoC? I thought it was 3.6MLoC.
