-You can help us make the doc better `by contributing <https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/5953>`_ !
+When a module has too many lines it can make it difficult to read and understand. There might be
+performance issue while editing the file because the IDE must parse more code. You need more expertise
+to navigate the file properly (go to a particular line when debugging, or search for a specific code construct, instead of navigating by clicking and scrolling)
+
+This measure is a proxy for higher cyclomatic complexity that you might not be calculating if you're not using ``load-plugins=pylint.extensions.mccabe,``. Cyclomatic complexity is slower to compute, but also a more fine grained measure than raw SLOC. In particular, you can't make the code less readable by making a very complex one liner if you're using cyclomatic complexity.
+
+The example simplify the code, but it's not always possible. Most of the time bursting the file
+by creating a package with the same API is the only solution. Anticipating and creating the file
+from the get go will permit to have the same end result with a better version control history.
