Is there a particular reasoning for removing the linting functionality or is there a better way of linting in the meanwhile? I am not speaking of a fully-fledged CI/CD using github-actions or similar, but by only utilizing molecule itself.
The proposed workaround to use a shell dependency clashes with using galaxy as dependency (unless there is a way that I am unaware of to add multiple dependencies).
IMHO molecule should include linting as this is something one would like to take care of before pushing and merging. Having it conveniently in one application (molecule) makes this process swift and easy.
