Currently we test with py.test whether headers and docs reflect the current year/month.
When a year/month marker in docs or source headers outdates, then this is a problem for packagers and release maintainers. It is not a problem for people running the code.
We might therefore do this kind of checks with tox, but in a different manner.
Further findings: the mentioned tests fail automatically after a year (or shorter). They should fail only, if there were any commits after the year mentioned in docs and version info.
