The extras tightly bound the versions of a number of dependencies:

These appear to be “preemptive” SemVer version pins rather than ones reflecting actual incompatibilities. For RPM packaging, I would suggest removing the upper bounds on these dependency versions, as breakage is much more likely to arise from these bounds than from any actual incompatibility.

(Ideally packagers should be checking for bounds like this in dependent packages before building an update, but that doesn’t always happen.)
