So more to my point on the latest version of RHEL and doing: yum install
tox -egenconfig

ceilometer-2014.2.1]# tox -egenconfig

nova-2014.2.1]# tox -egenconfig

So a few things to point out in order to even get tox -egenconfig I had to
update the system packages versions using pip.  Since we have other python
packages using virtualenv I have no idea if the updated venvironment
package is going to break those systems or not.  So the included
script/command is already a barrier to getting a sample config.  2) tox
fails to even build all the deps - it happens to be exactly failing at
mysql in both nova/cinder/glance/keystone 3) It's installing it own
versions of python libraries that solve the dependencies that are then
going to be used to generate the configuration.  If the configuration is
so dynamic that getting a different version of oslo.config could generate
a sample configuration that wont work on my system then how am I suppose
to deal with: 
Tox installed version:
oslo.config-1.5.0


System installed version:
python-oslo-config-1.3.0




Also python-libvrit failed to build because I don¹t have libvrit installed
on this system.  So am I to assume that there are no libvrit options
(which we both know is false)?
Now I can get a example config - that wont work with my system - per what
everyone else has been saying.  Also, at what point would the average user
just say "F it"? - because at the point I feel like if I was an average
user - I would be there right now.
