Looking at some of the comments here¹ it looks like they're using old
versions mostly to retain python2 compatibility. On the other hand they
also have a comment about not having checked newer versions yet for for
breaking changes, which IMO is their job. Other than flask-login and
netaddr I don't see a reason to not try with some of the newer versions
of the packages. I would feel better if they only marked their own
dependencies and not transitive dependencies.

I think it makes sense to try newer versions and to add older versions
on an as-needed basis, especially since some of these packages are
likely to be upgraded again at some point before the next version of
octoprint.
