A large change to the code base would indicate to me that the product isn't ready to ship or test, possibility. At the very least, it would prompt a discussion about the code and how we are managing it. Maybe we need some process changes or tools to prevent junk code from accumulating.

Edit: if you're talking about the math, I think "changed" includes added and deleted. So, it's the ratio of added and deleted to the total change.
