I agree an error message is better than breaking for insane reasons.

But... maybe as an aside... what about not breaking?

Well, yes, but *who* wants to do that?

Old versions of setuptoolsl, pip and pbr have a lot of issues. It will be a nightmare to workaround them.

For example, it was really difficult to handle dependencies which depend on the Python version (for python <= 2.6, for python >= 3.0, etc.). Environment markers solve a real concrete issue. Trying to working around environment markers is like reinventing the wheel, it doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

For me, it's a better investment to work upstream on setuptools, pip and pbr, and require recent versions.
