Where it will benefit those of us who already have environments setup is when django deprecates older databases or libraries, so that you'll always be able to have a newer environment without manually going through and upgrading existing components. The commands for running flake8/isort/spelling would help with discovery unless you've already transitioned to running them with the new tox configuration.

All that's required is a new synced_folder declaration within the Vagrantfile that'd mount a users project within the virtual machine, and then they can link to the existing settings modules to run their tests against the various databases. I guess this would be more useful for library developers rather than regular projects. For more advanced projects that want to use vagrant for development, they could include their own Vagrantfile that uses the django-box as a base from which to build upon.
