Directory local variable does not always mean that it is imposed to other
users: there's `.dir-locals-2.el` which can be used for private
project-related settings. (As stated in "(emacs)Directory Variables").

Also, directory-local variables could be fetched in methods that are
different from the standard `.dir-locals.el` by tweaking the
`hack-dir-local-get-variables-functions` variable, so there could
certainly be other ways to set this variable locally without getting in the way of
those that are supposed to be shared in a repository.
