Hello,
For quite some time, since the very first 'Forget the past' commit I have access to, pylint had the ability of providing additional reports, such as Global evaluation, Messages by category, Statistics by type etc. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them, they look like this http://paste.openstack.org/show/421040/ pylint provides an easy way to disable them, by using the --reports flag, as in `--reports=y|n`. After using pylint for some time, they're started to feel useless for me and I'm always disabling them when running pylint. They don't provide that much value, except maybe scaring new users with all sorts of numbers, percentages and negative scores (yes, the default formula allows the global evaluation score to become negative). For pylint users, what do you think about the removal of these reports from pylint? Would it cause problems for you? Are these reports in any sense useful for you? If there's no negative push-back, we'll go through the normal deprecation procedures, so they won't be removed until two releases for now or until Pylint 2.0. As a benefit, we'll get rid of a lot of code that no one is happy to maintain and the maintainers can focus on developing the analysis capabilities instead.
