We would like to investigate if the following lints related to const (which are currently enabled by package:flutter_lints) are carrying their weight:

• prefer_const_constructors
• prefer_const_constructors_in_immutables
• prefer_const_declarations
• prefer_const_literals_to_create_immutables

In theory, constness gives apps a performance boost, but during development these lints constantly nag developers: "Make this const" or "This cannot be const anymore". We should reevaluate if we are making the right trade-off here between naginess and performance.

For now we will limit our investigations to app developers and whether we should continue recommending the lints to them. We are not evaluating whether we should turn these lints off for the framework.
