If we go this route, I think I'd like to have a separate file per python
version.  At that point 'unmaintained' versions of python/constraints
could have their maintanece migrated to another team if needed.  Also,
the targets that are not for the current development cycle should have a
comment stating such at the top of the file.

A problem with this is the sprawl of tests that could be needed.

One option is to generate th 36/37 constraints and putting the file in
the tempest repo.
