Since constraints are not being applied at all to tox-based jobs
currently (see the thread on dropping Python 2.6 in master
branches), approving updates to them has no chance to impact
tox-based jobs either positively or negatively. Also, they're really
just a manifestation of how pip's resolver interprets our
global-requirements.txt, which is what we should be more carefully
reviewing. Right now it's serving as a mechanism to keep
requirements pinned to a known-passing set in DevStack-based jobs,
and that is already determined by the jobs which report on the
constraints update itself.
