whitelist_externals has been deprecated in tox for a long time. See: Changelogs.
This came into light when tox was upgraded to version 4.0.0 in upgrade PRs and some PRs failed due to this. For now tox has been pinned to <4.0.0 due to other breaking changes too but we should fix this issue so that whenever we upgrade tox to some version >4.0.0 we don't face this issue again.
A better approach to handle this would be to write a script and run it through bulk repo update job to make all the PRs in one go
