# Clippy
We don't enforce Clippy.
A number of default lints have high false positive rate.
Selectively patching false-positives with `allow(clippy)` is considered worse than not using Clippy at all.
There's `cargo xtask lint` command which runs a subset of low-FPR lints.
Careful tweaking of `xtask lint` is welcome.
See also [rust-lang/clippy#5537](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5537).
Of course, applying Clippy suggestions is welcome as long as they indeed improve the code.
