But at the end of the day, it just depends on the scope of
the module. Is it getting to large? If so, split.
Yup. LOC aren't a particulalry informative metric.
Documentation, comments, unit tests, blanks, all contribute to
it. Split by scope, by concept, by responsibility, by any
implementation-relevant metric, not by LOC. As the joke goes,
your word processor is doomed to fail once it also starts
sending out emails...
Actually it is quite informative. As a code smell it does tell
you pretty decently in my experience if your scope is too large
or if you are in need of refactoring.
Well, yes, it can be a litmus test, I guess. I meant to say that
it isn't per se a deciding factor.
