describe the problem

I created this issue #1711 that was marked as invalid by @asottile. Can you please elaborate on why? I have 2 points I think it is valid.

1. importlib_metadata 5.0 introduces this backward incompatible changes
   Breaking change in 7e5bae4 (importlib_metadata 5) python/importlib_metadata#409
2. flake8 config forces use of <4.3: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/blob/main/setup.cfg#L44

I just want a bit of consideration since I took the effort to write in the project and I am a strong advocate of flake8 for years.

I understand but you're not doing the charitable thing and researching where this has already been discussed multiple times and that there's nothing that can be done

please don't open another issue and please understand we've already put in a lot of work to solve this and there's nothing we can do and when we drop python3.7 we won't even use importlib-metadata (maybe your solution is to just ignore python3.7 as well)
