Completely agreed, actually; I was only responding to the comment suggesting the complete removal of run_tests.sh. I personally think we should promote only tox in the various doc files, and reference run_tests.sh only as a legacy thing we can't fully get rid of quite yet. (Incidentally, for my testing purposes, I don't care where it is, as long as it's somewhere; so we could also move it to, say, "tools". I don't even care what it outputs, as long as it gives a reasonable return value; so we could have it print out a scary-looking warning about it being legacy… :) -- Kevin L.
