Hmm, this sounds rather like reverse psychology.  Shouldn't those programs
explicitly disable linting, then?

IMHO it would be more correct to always lint, and progs which are not
lint-clean (can't everything be made lint-clean?  With a few lint keywords =
to
ignore some errors, perhaps) can explicitly disable lint.

Plus, if the current solution is still considered best, shouldn't bsd.own.mk
do the lint disabling for programs, then?  That way, custom programs still
get linted, but stuf from NetBSD's source tree don't.

Peter
