@daspecster, @dhermes PTAL

[daspecster]

LGTM,
0.17.1 goes out first though right?

[dhermes]

@tseaver LGTM. Can you squash the commits?

What is dependency-ci and does it show up on other PRs?

[tseaver]

@daspecster We won't make a 0.17.1 release: we have merged feature changes (including the new ErrorReporting client) to master.

@dhermes dependency-ci is a hook @jgeewax suggested we try: it doesn't actually have working Python support for anything except requirements.txt. It got triggered because I created this branch by editing setup.py directly in the Github UI, which makes it look like a "push".

In favor of #2048
