The arguments for pushing people to tox make good sense, but it seems
like there will still be cases where run_tests.sh continues to exist
for whatever reason.

For the sake of the new contributors, what about including a warning
when running run_tests.sh reminding them to use tox if possible?  For
the cases where the script can't be removed entirely, it will at least
help eager new folks (who are very likely to pull a repo and look for
a helpfully named script like that - I'm certainly guilty of rushing
ahead sometimes, running scripts while reading docs...)
