A few groups did give me output from a modern line counter, often Tokei or loc. I mention in the post that the ratios between source lines, word count lines and bytes were pretty similar across all projects. If people want to get a sense of how that compares to their intuitions in source lines they can use the ratio from our Rust project to convert.

I ended up using raw lines for comparison because for relative measurement it didn't matter for the above reason, and I knew everyone had the same `wc` and I could get them to send me the output of the `wc {glob}` version that lists lines and bytes of all files so that I could drill down into which parts were different.
