I'm not sure what your point is. Antirez has been contributing to redis for over 11 years and accounts for 80% of all its code churn.

In just the last 90 days, he accounted for 50% of the code that is being changed in redis. I'm currently indexing the Git repository, as I'm curious to see the impact Linus had before he left, but I don't think Linus leaving, is anything like antirez leaving.

Sorry if this post comes of confrontational, as that is not its intention. I just don't understand what comparison you are trying to make.

I think they were replying to a different bit of the parent comment than you seem to think:

> ... what would Linux be when Linus decides to step away?

I think it was a fair reply. Linus's contributions to Git, while basically 100% of the project initially, were not sustained over as long as Antirez's contributions to Redis.
