PR #1098 was closed unmerged: maintainers rejected hardcoding a .tox exclusion and redirected the broader ignore-file design to LP bug #1661064.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: On 2017-02-07, @kyrofa closed the PR after calling the hardcoded approach non-scalable and advised implementing a general .snapcraft_ignore in LP bug #1661064 instead.
