I'm not sure about what you want here. Reports are currently declarated by
checkers, because they usually rely on data gathered using the checker API. Do
you mean we should avoid checker that mix actual checks and data gathering for
reports?

I'm fine with that, though I still think the note thing should be kept activated
by default, especially for new comers. This could be as simple as one extra line
