I agree fully with Landon. The automated lint on submit should be  
limited, if even allowed, to severe errors that will cause the port to  
be unusable. We have enough of a hard time getting people to keep  
their ports up to date, without adding layers of unneeded complexity.

I don't mind if somebody wants to be able to run a lint that shows  
tweaky and silly warnings, but that should be their choice, on their  
system.

We should either:

	- Disable the automated link-on-submit
	- Or cause it to show severe errors only
