several things come to mind, most/all of which you probably know 
already:

1) you can turn off mlint in the editor by unchecking a box for the 
mlint preferences
2) developers are not entirely interchangeable.  those that work on the 
math typically have different skills and knowledge base than those who 
work on graphics, and they again tend to differ from those who work 
directly on the user interface

just some perspective.  I believe we need the full breadth of knowledge 
and expertise of all these development groups and MATLAB would be the 
worse for wear if we concentrated in only one domain.
