Note also that, IIUC, if you define an exclusion for a given bug type in the scope of a given method, future devs are free to introduce many more instances of that very same bug type in that same method, without ever noticing that they are doing something wrong --even if they do their due diligence and run FB before each commit? That just doesn't seem right. :-/ Regards, Andreas ---
