You mean, import Flycheck over its developer's objections? I very much doubt we'd want to do that. It's the developer's legitimate right not to allow it. And even if we did, how will this work once bug reports will come in, and we will expect/request the Flycheck developers to handle them? I simply don't see how something like that can work well enough for us to make it the endorsed solution.
