Somewhere around UNIX 3.0 "lint" flags were changed so that the default in all cases is to do the checking. This seems like the correct default behavior, and formerly it was confusing trying to remember whether a flag turned its corresponding check on or off. I don't know whether the change was USG's idea or Johnson's or ... but it is an improvement.
