Hi Taylan,

My second thought: it's surprising that IceCat supposedly changes so
much between releases. I suppose the reason is that this analysis is on
a per-file basis, and IceCat is mostly a massive binary.
FYI, here's the reason that IceCat is unusual among the projects sampled
in Ludovic's analysis: the large collection of JavaScript source files
and other auxiliary files, which are mostly unchanged from one release
to the next, are bundled into a single zip file in lib/icecat/omni.ja.
And even more most of the changed files differ only via the different
hash in the output path. So the actual diff is a few hundred lines of
almost the same -> should get compressed very good...
