I have a branch that separates scanning from diagnostics. It solves this dilemma. Please look out for a 'lab scan' facility in the near future. The terminology corresponds to the interaction between a doctor and a blood lab. Lintian checks function like a doctor that issues a diagnosis based on lab results. The low-level scan results will become much more abundant and provide all kinds of data to consumers like Lintian Brush. They will replace classification tags. Kind regards Felix Lechner
