+## Lws work retrospective
+
+The initial commit for lws will have been 11 years ago come Oct 28 2021, it's been a lot of work.
+There are a total of 4.3K patches, touching 800KLOC cumulatively (this is not the size in the
+repo, but over the years, how many source lines were changed by patches).
+
+![overview](./doc-assets/work.png)
+
+Gratifyingly, it turns out over the years, ~15% of that was contributed by 404 contributors: that's not so bad.
+Thanks a lot to everyone who has provided patches.
+
+Today at least tens of millions of devices and product features rely on lws to
+handle their communications including several from FAANG; Google now include lws
+as part of Android sources.
