elpy (https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy) ignores them.
I just tried

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Local Variables:
# flymake-mode: nil
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and flymake is still enabled in scratch.
So -- no, file-local settings do not solve my problem.

Nope, because I have to deal with the "safe local variable dialogue"
every time I visit such a file.
And again when I restart emacs and all those scratch files are reloaded
by desktop.

I understand the security implications, so I am reluctant to disable the
check, but this is a major inconvenience, so would use this approach
only as a last resort.

So, are you really _that_ opposed to `flymake-disallowed-file-name-regexp'?

Thanks.
