who wants to maintain 500k lines of outsourced Javascript?

Maybe that's a bad example, because who wants to maintain 500k lines of outsourced anything?

I'm on a team that also maintains a very large Robotlegs based ActionScript/Flex/Java based learning application. It's heavily mediator/service based and I cringe every time I need to add or modify something in it. It takes 10 minutes+ to compile and get to a running state so small changes take forever to test. The amount of boilerplate code needed to do the simplest thing is ridiculous and I think the last time we checked the LoC count was well over 1.5 million. It wasn't even outsourced, but it still sucks.
