Yes, I'm curious as well. I can understand re-running unit tests to make 
sure that those still run, but I in no way understand running 
hacking.py/pep8 outside of upstreaming code.

That's an acceptance criteria for git master, nothing more. Deciding to 
run it on patched / packaged versions of OpenStack out of tree with 
different pep8 just seems like generating more work for no benefit.
