SCSS Linting

[peiche]

Since Underscores' stylesheet is generated by Sass, would it be beneficial to have a scss-lint configuration file?

Ive been using stylelint and it's been create since it has config for wp's css coding standards. Cool thing is it lint's both css and scss!

Leave it out, because people who have dev environments already setup with grunt, gulp etc will likely have linters already setup from past projects. If they want to use stylelint they can add it. For anyone not linting it's an extra file in the code base that's taking up space. And if it did get added, what's next jslint? This is a minimal bare bones starter theme it should stay that way without any extras.

And if it did get added, what's next jslint?

That's actually already included in the Travis run - see #888

I would vote no as it's up to each person.

Do the Underscores team not lint their SCSS/CSS as they add or edit it?

How we each choose to do things is our own. The Underscores team is not just Automattic, it's everyone that contributes to. If you are asking at Automattic what we do, we have no one method and allow the themer to chose their path. As I am saying should happen here.
