I know for on that I will not setup pything venvs as they are massive
pain.  Anyting that isn't available in a somewhat recent distro using
the package manage is a complete no-go.  And software that changes so
frequently that this question even arises seem rather suspect to me
in general for something like documentation that should have a wide
range of contributors.
