So unless something has changed, devstack users are broken only on
Fedora - and the constraints thing won't protect them at this stage
because of two things.

Firstly, the bug isn't a cryptography bug - its a setuptools / pip
thing resulting in the .so pip installs being in the arch neutral path
rather than lib64, and this would work except that devstack also
installs python-cffi, which then masks the pip updated one. I don't
know why devstack is installing the binary package :/. This is a
Fedora platform specific bug - it doesn't show up on Ubuntu - either
because devstack doesn't install the ubuntu python-cffi package, or
because pip/setuptools on ubuntu don't have the same disconnect with
system packages in the same way. I'm not sure which.

Secondly, until we have a gate on openstack/requirements that checks
devstack-on-fedora, fedora developers will be exposed to this sort of
thing from time to time :/.
