I would also like to make DEPS.txt into a requirements.txt file so that
it's easier to find for new people coming in that are used to modern Python
packaging standards.

Something else I would like to do is make Axiom pip-installable. This is
currently kind of painful because Axiom insists on using Epsilon in
egg-info, which means that you have to install Epsilon first before
setup.py egg-info will even say anything useful. To add insult to injury, Epsilon does the same thing with Twisted. Because this happens in egg- info, even a requirements.txt file that has all dependencies in order won't work,
and even pip install Twisted Epsilon Axiom won't work.

This doesn't have to happen this release, but I think it'd be an
improvement.

A pretty good release philosophy is that *nothing* *has* to happen this release. :) A release of what's in the Axiom VCS right now will be an improvement over the last release; even more improvements would be great, but they shouldn't prevent the improvements we have already from getting out.
