Yes, the configurable rules will be a great addition, but for now I don't
think we should keep these very restrictive and not always appropriate
rules. I would like to disable many of these before we all agree on a
minimum we can all use. And to do that we could start by lisiting (here on
this forum) the current rules. There are very different approaches to e.g.
data element and data set naming in different countries and these rules can
be very annoying and work against their purpose in some cases.
