Yeah. We have spent some time configuring our linters so they match our organization's style - and syntax exists to exclude specific exceptional-but-correct usages from being flagged - but now, if the linter raises any flags, they're almost 100% signal, with only an occasional false alarm*. The rules don't need to be universally applicable :)

(The caveat being, of course, that the linter is only a helper tool - "linter doesn't complain" doesn't guarantee correctness, just that "linter complains" is a fairly certain sign of incorrectness)
