 Notes
 ~~~~~
 
-- Make lint complaints are not necessarily fatal.
 - Volume problem reports require cleanup before linting can become a default.
+
+  - After bulk linting problems for a language source have been cleaned up
+    default linting can be enabled by modifing {project-root}/config.mk.
+
 - Lint target support is globally available across repositories, given time
   it will be.  Submit patches as needed or open a jira ticket to request
   linting support in specific repositories.
