Bug Description
Hacking requiring specific versions of libraries
==pep8-1.5.7 for instance
This makes it hard for downstream to package because of the use of ancient and locked versions mean our users have to downgrade to use hacking or to install something with tests using hacking.
dev-python/
What I'd like to see happen is either regularly update the locked version of the packages hacking depends upon or to unlock them entirely (and work with upstreams to deal with any breakage). If neither of these happen I'll probably move to remove hacking from our repo.

This is a really awful design that not only blocks cleanup of other packages but also forces people to downgrade. Please look into fixing this horrible package not to force specific old versions of other packages. Thank you.
