Re: [Emacs-diffs] master 934a72c: User can specify files never subject t

[João Távora]

Hi Sam,

I was going through Flymake in master to perform some refactorings when
I came across this change:

   commit 934a72c7e4a506a36697fdb98f837cea989e70e1
   Author: Sam Steingold <address@hidden>
   Date:   Wed Nov 1 09:36:41 2017 -0400
    
       User can specify files never subject to flymake.

There was some discussion around it

   https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-11/msg00054.html

but I believe we later agreed (though off-list for some reason) that
using a file or dir-local value of nil for
`flymake-diagnostic-functions' is a much better alternative in Emacs
26.1 onwards. In the case of your "mini-scratch" Python files, just add:

# Local Variables:
# flymake-diagnostic-functions: nil
# End:

So, do you mind if I revert the patch?  I'm asking because new
user-visible complexity in a file I'm trying to refactor is
counterproductive to that task.
