[Python-apps-team] Bug#546526: pylint: -e should not omit fatal errors

[Yann Dirson]

Package: pylint
Version: 0.18.0-1
Severity: normal

Typical usage for "-e" being to catch most critical problems, having
it hiding fatal messages is quite counter-productive.  It should
indeed mean "only the messages of severity ERROR and above are displayed".
