Hey @nicolo-ribaudo! We really appreciate you taking the time to report an issue. The collaborators
on this project attempt to help as many people as possible, but we're a limited number of volunteers,
so it's possible this won't be addressed swiftly.

If you need any help, or just have general Babel or JavaScript questions, we have a vibrant Slack
community that typically always has someone willing to help. You can sign-up here
for an invite.

i think we can just simply remove the two lines 1046 and 1051 in plugins/flow.js. I don't see any value in them, as they are always true.

beginner-friendly. Seems my type. I am willing to submit a PR. Thanks Daniel for the hint.
