Had everything been developed in house, MISRA wouldn't have been the bottleneck. I respect your perspective. I was in charge of setting in-house guidelines, and tried to do things sanely. Personally I found that the entire team saw much less value in MISRA, but could clearly see the value in LINT. Mainly because MISRA seemed (to us) to be pretty obvious stuff, while LINT seemed to encourage everyone to develop better coding habits. YMMV
