Aloha
I've linted quite a bunch of descriptions and synopses after Vagrant asked
whether someone was up to that task[1] (:
So this is it. Going through all the warnings I found quite a bunch of false
positives, or at least cases where the linting rules do not reflect the
status-quo. I'll prepare a separate patch set for my suggestions in that
regard.
Thanks for merging and have a nice day,
gabber
