My latest merged PR in Kubernetes restores my deletion balance, without even touching vendor: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123339 (mostly deleting duplicated code by replacing it with a generic version). Better yet, once 1.31 is released and other projects regenerate their clients, the change will continue deleting code there too! My running totals are 28,295 insertions for 43,646 deletions, in 38 commits.
