100% Yes, and the linters are just an experiment I had to see what was possible in terms of "packaging a no-framework framework for distribution".

The same problem exists when using a framework. You use the framework's rigid rules and tools or you don't.

I don't know what you consider to be "this" because there's multiple concepts at play in my previous post: (i) "no framework", (ii) the specific "Modular Provider Architecture" ruleset, and (iii) python architecture linter.

What you are looking for in an "against" case? What is a traditional architecture?
