Absolute BIGGEST ones: • ~hundred line BUILD files going poof! with dep inference ◦ I suspect we have huge Python files because people didn't want to deal with the overhead of updating BUILD files • Likewise, now I don't have to worry about my pytest `conftest`s not showing up in a particular test (E.g. I have a top-level pytest which tries and mocks/stubs non-hermetic things like
datetime.datetime.today
)
