In fact, any objections to removing the test file and dependency altogether? I don't think it's especially helpful now.

The description of pyroma is https://pypi.org/project/pyroma/

Pyroma rhymes with aroma, and is a product aimed at giving a rating of how well a Python project complies with the best practices of the Python packaging ecosystem, primarily PyPI, pip, Distribute etc, as well as a list of issues that could be improved.

That sounds like something we would be interested in. Is your feeling just that pyroma is slipping in achieving that goal, or that we have other checks that make this redundant?

You added the test in #743 in response to @aclark4life's #740. If you both don't mind removing it, then that sounds fine - in practical terms, it's hard to remember another time when it has failed.
