The only issue I see is that based on our discussions, the big problem 
with lower-constraints testing is that it requires all of your 
dependencies to have compatible l-c too, so if Oslo drops testing of 
that it's going to make it extremely difficult for any other OpenStack 
projects to maintain it.
