I started to dig in to see if I could figure out what was breaking, so I set up a clean virtualenv to test with. It looks like if you have packages installed both to your .pip/sources and to your virtualenv, strange things happen, but if you start out with --no-site-packages, non .pip/source, and a clean virtualenv, everything from the full version of the requirements.txt file (before the removals) installs just fine. feedparser is missing from the requirements (easily fixable), but other than that, brisket runs fine after that. Given that, I'd say we should reinstate the removed requirements, and if we have problems with upgrades in the future on production, we nuke the virtualenv, make a fresh one with --no-site-packages, and reinstall. Brisket, at least, doesn't depend on saucebrush, so I don't see that one being a problem.
