It depends. If your codebase is already free of lint warnings - adding a blocking check to prevent new ones is no big deal. But if your blocking check means that everyone has to drop everything and spend a week fixing code - of course this won't be smooth.

PS. Also, it’s a good idea to have manual override for whatever autoblocks you set up. Most linters already come with this feature.

IME even better than linters is something like `go fmt` (I work mainly in Python and use https://github.com/psf/black). Rather than forcing you to manually jimmy the code to satisfy the robot, just let the robot make it look the way it wants.
