I have no study to point to, but from experience 500K SLOC is way too high
for a minimum breakpoint to Ada. The breakpoint depends on the complexity
and number of people involved. I dont know about you, but things start
to seem complex to me much closer to 30K than 500K lines.
Even 30K lines of C is a pretty frightening thought.
