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.
