   > @nigzak it seems like `numexpr` is an indirect dependency:
   > 
   > ```
   > $ git grep numexpr
   > requirements/base.txt:numexpr==2.8.4
   > requirements/base.txt:    #   numexpr
   > ```

   > To ensure that CVE is addressed for all situations (and not just CI etc. 
which leverage the pinned/frozen dependencies) we should add the necessary bump 
to `setup.py`. This should _likely_ be done by updating the `pandas` 
constraints given that's the package which is depending on it.
   
   Adding the constraint to `setup.py` is more complete, yet when applied as a 
global rule for indirect dependencies can cause hard to fix and unexpected 
problems with our extra packages. Also as time passes we will probably end up 
with a huge setup.py with lot's of indirect dependency constraints that will be 
hard to manage.
   
   My take here is that we should keep `setup.py` restricted to direct 
dependencies only, and open exceptions for breaking changes only. Then add 
these constraints on `requirements/*.in`.
   Users that use `pip install apache-superset` will get the latest packages 
when possible, or manage their dependencies on their own `requirements` 
file(s). Our requirements will ensure CI and an up to date docker image(s)
