Part of this could be that cliff is still capped since the newest release has
some issues that have yet to be addressed. The upper constraint can't be raised
until they are (which also likely means blacklisting this version), but I
haven't seen any activity there yet.

So the fix that was supposed to handle this doesn't appear to have actually
done so.
