Description
Sometimes we might need to update some package that is not a Janeway's direct dependency (e.g. if pip audit complains 🙂 ).
Using "constraints" (ala pip install -r requirement.txt -c constraints.txt) seems more appropriate for indirect dependencies, because constraints.txt does not trigger any installation, but only limits the version of a package.
However this reflects on any place where "requirements.txt" is used.
