My points are next:

1. Pylint check will be very useful for project, and will help to
avoid critical errors or mistakes in code.

2. At first step we won't implement pylint as gate job, but will add
it at master to have a possibility to check  code with pylint locally,
if it is needed.

3. In future it could be added as a non-voting job.
