Thanks for the clarification. I saw the readme, and I assumed (wrongly) that each rule just receive a file name.

I wonder where you draw the line between a "linter aggregator" and a "linter". golangci-lint incorporates all the rules themselves, though it imports the linter logic as libraries, so I'm not sure that it's fair to call it an aggregator. Gometalinter runs linters as child processes and I don't think it contains any linter code, so it's a pure aggregator.

My point is that while your project is admirable, the Go world isn't large enough for so many linter projects. Personally, I just want one good linter that is maintained and that incorporates all the rules I want.
