You are correct, we don't cap generally, though I wonder if the tests
allow it given that our goal is to maintian co-installability (through
upper-constraints.txt) not have things be uncapped (that's a side effect
of lowering the maintence burden in master).  We would not allow the cap
in the reqs project, but it's possible it can work per-project.
