A good amount of tannins, some peppery notes, a hint of vanilla. A nice, full-bodied product. For the price, not bad at all. Should go well with game.

One bit was changed 10,000 times with 10,000 patches.
It's back to its old value, in case you wondered... ;)

Without more context that is the most useless metric I've ever seen.
Did they find/replace 10,000 typos?
Yup, and all of them were in the comments. The one developer who cares about spelling and grammar in the comments leads in productivity, as measured in code checkins.
