Hi,

Thank you for letting us know. While pylint is indeed
opinionated in some cases, we're not trying to be
"arrogant", as you put it, towards Guido or the other core
developers. What's sad in this particular case is that the
feedback had to come in rather a harsh manner, on this group,
instead of being reported as a bug or an enhancement on pylint's
bug tracker.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I agree with your opinion
regarding that message and as such, it is removed and won't be
emitted anymore in the next release (1.6)

Thank you.
