For the next FESCo meeting to review:
No more automagic Python bytecompilation

The current way of automatic Python byte-compiling of files outside Python-specific directories is too magical and error-prone. It is built on heuristics that are increasingly wrong.
We will provide a way to opt-out of it and adjust the guidelines to prefer explicit bytecompilation of such files. Later, the old behavior will be opt-in only or will cease to exist.
Note that bytecompilation in Python-specific directories (e.g. /usr/lib/python3.6/) is not affected.
