Sure, on the short term, this is not an issue. It really valuable. And this is not really a "dependency" since we are not forcing anyone. I agree. But the day the service stops to be free, we should still deliver code with a high quality :) Either because we have a free alternative to static checkers or if every devs know how to avoid code with potential problems (or if we decide to pay for the service). _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
