The main advantage of a new feature name is that when someone searches
the internet for "python bootstrap_requires", they won't find a
decade+ worth of inapplicable documentation of the setuptools feature
:)

new name for sure -- but I don't like bootstrap-requires -- is this bootstrapping isn't it jsut building?

why not build_requires?

BTW, conda has:

requires:
   build:
   run:
   test:

(I think that's it)
