  "message": "Remove py_repositories (#370)\n\nThis adds useless setup code to a users WORKSPACE file.\r\n\r\nThe idea that we could add some transitive WORKSPACE dependencies is flawed without a working support for this in Bazel. Anything we add in that function later is a breaking change for users, in that they might call our py_repositories() before fetching rules_xx, and we already installed an incompatible rules_xx.\r\n\r\nSince adding anything here is a breaking change, we can always put it back later as a breaking change to the rules.\r\n\r\nHowever I would argue strongly that rules_python is too core in the dependency chain for it to *ever* grow transitive dependencies. Like rules_nodejs we should either vendor code we need privately or strip development-only dependencies from our distribution, and never suggest that users call a rules_python function that installs other starlark code.",
