 # Quote of the Week
 
-<!-- QOTW goes here -->
+> Netstack3 encompasses 63 crates and 60 developer-years of code. It contains more code than the top ten crates on [crates.io](https://crates.io/) combined. ... For the past eleven months, they have been running the new networking stack on 60 devices, full time. In that time, Liebow-Feeser said, most code would have been expected to show "mountains of bugs". Netstack3 had only three; he attributed that low number to the team's approach of encoding as many important invariants in the type system as possible.
