The main proposal was for dropping them from stable branches of most
projects due to the complexities of cascading dependencies between
stable point releases of interdependent projects with essentially
frozen requirements. I also think we should be okay if some teams
don't feel they have time to fix or maintain master branch testing
of lower bounds.

Most of our testing is wrapped by tox, and the version of pip used
depends on what's vendored into the version of virtualenv
automatically pulled in by tox. In short, tox wants to use the
latest available virtualenv (and thus also pip, setuptools,
wheel...). Controlling this is doable, but nontrivial and a bit
fragile.
