    Because we've already got a working tox environment. Which includes
    knowing, in advance that you can't just pip install tox (as 1.7.x is
    broken), and that you need to have postgresql and mysql and libffi dev
    packages installed, and a C compiler.

    Start with a pristine Linux it is a lot manual steps you have to go
    through to get a working config out of tox -e genconfig.

    So I think it's a fair concern that we did just move a burden back onto
    users because we dug a hole by letting libraries declare arbitrary
    required variables in our config files.


Good answer.
