FWIW: we already have two users (Howard and myself) who raised an
eyebrow seeing this option in python-flymake, and took the time to write
a bug report about it.
It's not entirely unlikely that more Emacs 28 users will happen to see
this option in that group while perusing the python-flymake group, raise
an eyebrow, and write a report. Even assuming they use 28.2, they might
not think to check that it is also present in the "python" group, and
might do as we did and assume it's a mistake.
And even if they see that the option is also in the "python" group, they
might not look further than "well that's silly, it shouldn't belong in
python-flymake, let's report this". I wouldn't fault them for that.
I don't mind your solution and don't want to waste anyone's time with
this; I just saw your question and took the bait, since those
hypothetical scenarios I describe sound more likely to me than the one
you have in mind (IIUC: a user being {accustomed to,fine with,not
confused by} this new option being in the python-flymake group).
Please dismiss if you're not convinced.
