If I understand your argument, I'm strongly -1 on disabling the overall rating by default. This "funny" approach has brought several users to pylint and a lot of people improve their coding style to get a higher score. However I agree we could add a disclaimer, and also make it easy to disable it (huum, probably already the case through disable-report). -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB, Paris (France) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.
