upper-constraints helps a lot with that.  Did you time looking at the cinder
stable branches pre-date that?

Note we still don't have 100% coverage of projects using upper-constraints,
something we're closing on slowly and everytime we do it we backport it to all
the stbale branches so bit by bit it's getting much better.
