amusing stat: in #curl 8.13.0 we have "surviving" code lines from 622 authors. (who has at least one production code line with their name in git blame)

That's 11 *fewer* than in the previous release.

In fact, we peaked at 636 unique authors in version 8.10.1 and it has gone down since.

No, I don't have any conclusion to make based on this. It's just variations over time.

A fun problem with having done 266 releases: documentation that refers to specific past releases sometimes accidentally mention a release that actually doesn't exist, and it's not that easy to spot...

I'm now adding tests to #curl that verifies that all mentioned versions in docs actually are legit past versions!

running random #curl command lines for 60 seconds in CI for every commit.

Fail the test on unexpected exit codes or crashes.
