One thing I'd dearly like to see suppressed in most cases is the spell
checking. Most package descriptions need to use jargon which spell
checkers just don't recognize. I just ran some random rpmlints to check
how it's behaving these days, and here's my collection of 'spelling
error' warnings:

libdrm
sK
gpsd
pre

aside from this most of the output I get is pretty sane, though.
