Think about removing the issue weights feature for build failure thresholds

[arturbosch]

Further discussion from #2266

Expected Behavior

Remove the extra complexity.

Current Behavior

Issue kinds can be weighted to influence the build failure threshold higher than other issues.
Do we want to maintain this feature?
The only usecase I see is to have specific rules printed on the console as a reminder to remove them someday.

Context

#2266

I think we shouldn’t remove this. We also have a similar unresolved feature in #533.

I am using this feature!

I am developing an extension to detekt that focuses on detection of programming principle violations. Because these principles are hard to detect with low false-positive rate i need a way of spotting them, but without breaking the build and creating unnecessary noise.

Nice project @Mkohm
I gave it star. It looks really promising.
It’s always great to see such efforts!!

Closed because I think this really provides value to the user.
