Over time we've begun to use newer versions of mypy, typeshed, stub
packages---and of course we've improved our own annotations. This makes
some type ignore comments no longer necessary. I have removed them.
There was one exception: a module that imports `select.epoll`. The
ignore is redundant on Linux, but I've kept it ignored for those of us
who work on the source tree using not-Linux. (#11771)
I'm more interested in the config line which enforces this. I want
unused ignores to be reported, because I think it's useful feedback when
annotating to know when you've fixed a problem you had to previously
ignore.
* Installing extras before typechecking
Lacking an easy way to install all extras generically, let's bite the bullet and
make install the hand-maintained `all` extra before typechecking.
Now that https://github.com/matrix-org/backend-meta/pull/6 is merged to
the release/v1 branch.
