title: How to filter out issues on public API?
body: <p>Issues which require to modify a public API to be fixed can't be fixed without breaking backward binary compatibility for the users of this API (and the Clirr plugin checks). I would thus like to filter out these issues. Is there an automatic filter for this (I could not find any in <a href="https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus</a>)? Or do I have to manually mark them as "Won't Fix"?</p>
