Comment (by nickm):

 I think 0.4.4 might be a better idea, and here's why: new code-checking
 tooling often comes with significant false positives or similar issues to
 work around, and often takes a few rounds of revision till it works right
 everywhere.

 With that in mind, I think we should aim to do this in 0.4.4, and only do
 things in 0.4.3 that stabilize it.  But I could probably be persuaded
 elsewise if I'm missing something here.
