The only place I've ever been at that had any sort of lines of code measurement also tracked lines removed, This was on a points system and in fact removal of code was considered worth more points as long as it didn't break build (there was also some other stuff about if it was rolled back or the lines you had written were changed in a short time that points were removed) There was also some points for removing TODOs etc.

It worked pretty good because there was only a team of 4-5 people on any product at any time so someone just removing TODOs and not fixing the issues pointed out by the TODOs would have been caught.
