is there any reason why the

build_support/flake8

directory needs to exist?

I think we have our flake8 config file in it. How come?

directory is empty other than a

BUILD

file

Oh, weird. I thought we had a config file. Feel free to remove then

oh I guess we do have a file there, it's just a dotfile

Is there an advantage to it being a dot file? Makes sense when it’s in a home directory or root of a repo, but if it is in its own directory, it should feel be able to let its hair down and be visible.

it'd probaby be a good idea to change it to not being a dot file, if it's easy to configure flake8 in that way

Yeah no particular reason. I think I thought it had to be hidden
