The job definition for openstack-tox-lower-constraints [1] was approved
today (thanks AJaegar and pabelenger).

I have started proposing the patches to add that job to the repos listed
in openstack/requirements/projects.txt using the topic
"requirements-stop-syncing" [2]. I hope to have the rest of those
proposed by the end of the day tomorrow, but since they have to run in
batches I don't know if that will be possible.

The patch to remove the update proposal job is ready for review [3].

As is the patch to allow project requirements to diverge by changing the
rules in the requirements-check job [4].

We ran into a snag with a few of the jobs for projects that rely on
having service projects installed. There have been a couple of threads
about that recently, but Monty has promised to start another one to
provide all of the necessary context so we can fix the issues and move
ahead.
