About
Within GitLab's bespoke complexity calculations on BaseField, we currently prohibit the ability for a field to have a complexity of 0.
Proposal
Allowing a field to have a complexity of 0 could initially be used to exclude queryComplexity fields !52448 (merged) from affecting complexity calculations.
Future
In future, we could additionally decide that certain kinds of fields that require no effort for the API to expose could be have 0 complexity too. This would be tackled in a separate issue and would require developer documentation guidelines to be written.
