If anything, we'd want to move to local_settings.py in that case -- the
reason we switched to doing that in a bunch of the other projects is TBH
something as simple as "then tab completion works better".

In general we've said it's not worth breaking compat for it on the old
repos though. That can obviously be argued. But if we do, we definitely
don't want to do *both*, in that case we should remove them.

Oh, I wasn't even aware of that. TBH, I'm not sure that's intentional, that
may be a leak from "it was easiest to do that in the beginning".

I don't really see a reason why we wouldn't want that file to be scanned as
well -- do you?
