[issue8406] Make some setup.py paths exclude-able

[Carol Willing]

Carol Willing added the comment:

Ronald, while I may have closed this issue prematurely in other folks' view, I did not do so without thought or reflecting if the issue was relevant.

My recommendation to close the issue was based on several factors:

- the desire to assist triaging issues that are not actionable in their current state

- the lack of activity for over 6 years on an overly broad issue topic

- an opportunity for a more suitable issue to be opened which more accurately reflects the development needed and actions needed

- this issue's history, if necessary, could easily be referred to in a better scoped issue

Overall, I see closing this issue as an opportunity to address in a new issue the specific setup.py improvements that would be helpful today.
