Given that it is desirable for tools like virtualenv to support *old*
versions of Python on *new* versions of operating systems, it seems to
me that there is an inherent element of their feature set that makes
including the whole tool questionable.

OTOH, it may make sense to have a baseline tool provided innately, but
provide the appropriate third party hooks to allow alternative tools
to evolve independently of the stdlib.

How well does the regression test suite cope when run inside such a
virtualised environment?

Cheers,
Nick.
