 - The canonical source of the OpenStack Style Guidelines is
   `HACKING.rst
   <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/hacking>`_, and hacking just enforces
   them; so when adding a new check, it must be in ``HACKING.rst``
 - False negatives are ok, but false positives are not
 - Cannot be project specific, project specific checks should be `Local Checks`_
-- Docstring tests
+- Include extensive tests
 - Registered as entry_points in `setup.cfg <setup.cfg>`_
 - Error code must be in the relevant ``Hxxx`` group
+- The check should not attempt to import modules from the code being checked.
+  Importing random modules, has caused all kinds of trouble for us in the past.
