Things which are currently outstanding on freeze.
Upstream still requires - SQLA < 0.8. Thomas has forked debian to allow
0.9. I think we should resolve that before release.
Trove turned out to not be participating in global requirements, and has
3 items outside of requirements.
I also think we probably need a larger rethink of the
global-requirements process because I see a lot of review's bumping
minimum versions because "some bugs are fixed upstream". And those all
seem to be sailing through. I think for incorrect reasons. No one's
objected at this point, so maybe that's ok. But it's probably worth a
huddle up.
