I agree, but the PR currently says:

> You MUST run the `ansible-test sanity` command against the `devel` or `milestone` branch of `ansible-core` so that you find out about new linting requirements earlier.

That’s why I said it’s just about finding out about new linting requirements. Maybe we should drop the “linting”, then, and only mention “requirements”? Or maybe change this to

> so that you find out about issues with the next `ansible-core` release early

or something similar.
