Yeah, it's worth remembering that part of the history of pedantic was to add a new classification for tags that I, as a Lintian maintainer, was not willing to always fix even in my *own* packages. We had a lot of demand in bug reports for adding some additional checks, often repeated requests for the same checks, so I didn't want to drop them entirely, but I also didn't want to bother people with them who weren't explicitly asking for them. There are a few pedantic tags that I routinely ignore, usually because I can't easily do anything about them (like no-upstream-changelog). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
