Allen Wittenauer commented on YETUS-527:
----------------------------------------

After thinking about this a bit, I remember why it wasn't implemented like that 
to begin with:  we really don't know whether or not these files are being used 
for input into tests.

Maybe the real fix here is to exempt certain file names (regardless of 
extension) if they appear in the root of the tree.  e.g., README, NOTICE, 
LICENSE, COPYING, BUILDING, NOTES, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, NEWS, AUTHORS, 
CONTRIBUTINGS, ....

It'll still trigger a failure if one of these appears elsewhere in the tree, 
but I suspect this would cut down on at least a good chunk of the false 
negatives.

> When somebody posts a doc-only patch, we shouldn't make a red -1 on

> Maybe detect if all the changed files are {{.adoc}} or {{.md}} or maybe 
> there's some other type to consider also.
