That's a very complicated question but I think we can at least have a `[tool.usethis.layout]` and [make the problem worse](https://xkcd.com/927/) while allowing us to at least keep all these fields in sync and effectively migrate between layouts.\n\n**Summary of desired enhancement**\nConsider the above and how we want to handle layouts in general.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nathanjmcdougall","@type":"Person","name":"nathanjmcdougall"},"datePublished":"2025-02-20T23:10:51.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/316/usethis-python/issues/316"}
