Right. Thank you for clarifying, Tony.

I believe several projects didn't want Hacking to auto-update and break things. With off-by-default rules (and the proliferation of them in Hacking) I don't think this is the most valid of concerns anymore. The only problem would be that pycodestyle and pyflakes frequently add new checks in releases means that the way Hacking pins Flake8 and itsdependencies is still necessary. We need to figure out how to keep up-to-date with our upstream dependencies without causing problems for projects. Until we do that, we should probably just keep our current methodology of letting projects update when they want to and can afford developer time to update.
