> Do we need an upper bound for the pytz dependency?
> ([https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/release-2.5.0/sdks/python/setup.py#L108)]
> We typically have upper bounds, in order to avoid future breakages due to a
> possibility of breaking/backward incompatible change of that depepdency.
> Good practice is to upper bound either at known version, or next major
> version. Do we need an exception for pytz because it does not seem to be
> following semantic versioning?
> cc: [~yifanzou] Is this something dependency notifier can warn on? Dependency
> without upper version bounds.
