The unawaited_futures lint is part of the core.yaml set of lints [1] that will be distributed as part of a new package. It is a little odd that in order to fully use it and get access to the unawaited function recommended by the lint you have to also depend on package:pedantic, which is yet another unrelated package bundling opinionated linter rules.

Maybe the unawaited function recommended by the lint should live somewhere else, like the meta package? That package is home to most other annotations that modify how lint rules and the analyzer behave.
