Details | Review 
Today we had the situation that our tests were broken because we hard-depend on mozinfo 0.7, while marionette-client itself depends on >= 0.7. With the release of mozinfo 0.8 today, this version got installed with marionette. Once our deps were examined the setup step runs into a version conflict between 0.8 and 0.7.

I think that for packages in our own control we should have loose version dependencies. That would allow us to pick up the latest changes without having to always bump versions in our setup.py file. There might be a risk for seeing breakage in case of an incompatible new release. But in those cases we could temporarily have strict version deps until the problem got fixed.

I will come up with a proposed patch. Let me know what you think about.
PR for loose version deps. r+ taken over from Armen's reply on the Github PR.

We would need that patch on all branches.
