Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Is it time to stop describing youtube-dl as "small"? I counted the current version with cloc, as installed from the webupd8 PPA, and it comes to a shade under 80kLOC in just under 650 files. I don't think that qualifies as small, either in lines of code or in complexity of installation (e.g. cloc itself is about 10kLOC, but ships as a single Perl file, so it's sort of small).

Suggested change: remove the word "small" from the project description on GitHub, from https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ and from any other corresponding places. I note that the README in particular does not seem (any more?) to describe youtube-dl as "small".

youtube-dl is great; thanks for working on it!

Good idea!

Good point. On http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ it says that

youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites.

Maybe change 'few' to 'many' or something else.
