[Roadmap] False Positive Rate #6623

Closed
Closed

Description

In the worst case, new lints are only available in nightly for 2 weeks, before
hitting beta and ultimately stable. This and the fact that fewer people use
nightly Rust nowadays makes it more probable that a lint with many FPs hits
stable. This leads to annoyed users, that will disable these new lints in the
best case and to more annoyed users, that will stop using Clippy in the worst.
A process should be developed and implemented to prevent this from happening.
