Out of curiosity, I just did a pickaxe through the
openstack/requirements Git repository and confirmed that we have
never claimed support for SQLAlchemy 0.8.x at least back to its
inception over a year ago (when we first started trying to get a
consistent list of our dependencies across the entirety of
OpenStack). Individual projects have gone with SQLAlchemy uncapped
from time to time, but if they are to be co-installable then we need
them limited to the intersection of what the individual projects
support.

Since we now have at least some integration testing on our global
requirements list, I uploaded https://review.openstack.org/47745 to
see what breaks (though unit tests for individual projects are not
covered by this test and may also need fixing).
