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.
