Looking at how my servers update themselves and the recent Copy Fail vulnerability, I'm considering an automated weekly restart to make sure services and kernels are up to date. It'd also ensure that services are correctly configured to start on boot.

Should lint suppressions be first class syntax or comments?
Adding a proper metadata system (e.g. Clojure or Rust) is a big design space but it's clear which expressions are affected.
Comments are much easier to implement but it's easy for users to get them wrong.
Thoughts?

It's so common to have arrows, but I've realised they're redundant here. When you have the adjacent values as well as the final value, you don't need > and >> arrows too.
Thoughts?
