No problem removing them.
Not really useful in my experience, except very rarely as a relative
indicator of the direction things are moving.

As a corollary, I will note that some users where I work seemed mesmerized
by high scores (10/10, etc) and relied on them, not being aware that pylint
wasn't some all-seeing-all-knowing Python code genie. I tried to disabuse
them of that notion. I think it would be better to remove them and make
people (especially Python newbies) focus on individual messages.
