I think most users will understand <https://github.com/ionelmc/pytest-benchmark/issues/42> that they need to upgrade their pip/setuptools. If they complain about Ubuntu not shipping recent tooling or whatever then just send them to the Ubuntu bug tracker :-)
Regarding your issue, since you don't depend on minor python version you could easily publish one wheel for py2 and one for py3. This won't need env markers and will avoid wheel poisoning issues, in most cases at least. But this complicates the release process - is it worth it?
