 # TODO: run golint and errcheck, but only to catch *new* violations and
 # decide whether to change code or not (e.g. we need to be able to whitelist
 # violations already in the code). They can be useful to catch errors, but
 # they are just too noisy to be a requirement for a CI -- we don't even *want*
 # to fix some of the things they consider to be violations.
