 ### Rule Suggestion
 
+_Note: TSLint has stopped accepting new core rules because it is being deprecated in favor of ESLint. Your request is likely to be rejected with the suggestion to maintain a custom rule outside this repository. See [the roadmap](https://github.com/palantir/tslint/issues/4534) for more details._
