- Recommendations around the `src/` layout

**Background** : [This issue](https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/issues/320) is still unresolved, but a lot of people are converting to the `src/` layout. The canonical reference for why is [Hynek’s post](https://hynek.me/articles/testing-packaging/), though I will refrain from at-messaging him because I don’t think he wants to be the poster-boy for `src/` layout.
