Capping libs like pbr or eventlet and any other that is in use globally is incredibly difficult to work with when you want to uncap it because you have to coordinate globally. Instead if using constraints you just bump the constraint and are done.

That's constantly on our list of things to do. In the past the only
time we've capped is when we know upstream is realeasing breaking
versions and we want to hold off for a cycle or until it's fixed. It
also has the benefit of telling consumers/packagers about something
'hard breaking'.
