+`binnit` is intended to be truly minimal. It consists of about 500
+lines of golang source code in total, including:
+
+* ~110 lines for License statements (comments)
+* ~110 lines of core logic
+* ~90 blank lines
+* ~75 lines for template management
+* ~75 lines for config management
+* ~30 lines of pure comments
+
 If you want to strip `binnit` down even further, you could consider
 removing:
 
-* sanity checks and error management
-* logging
+* blank lines
 * the external configuration file
+* the template system 
+* sanity checks and error management
+* logging 
 * code comments
