I noticed you’ve also released a package called `elm-lint`. Is `elm-review` a replacement for that?

Yes, exactly. `elm-lint` is the old name for `elm-review`. If you see `elm-lint` somewhere, you can think of it being an depecated version of `elm-review`.

What I recommend then is changing the readme and package description for `elm-lint` to indicate that it’s deprecated and to use `elm-review` instead.

Very cool, super interesting approach.

Major props for taking a [stance on no built in rules](https://github.com/jfmengels/elm-review/blob/master/documentation/design/no-built-in-rules.md). I agree with your reasoning and it is a pet peeve of mine with linters. IMO no tool should take the place of the compiler on dictating what users can do with the language by default.
