The backport was merged, so now  tempest list-plugins is correctly executed.

But the problem is that tempest-17.0 is installed instead of the master version, probably because the constraints are enforced. So now the execution fails because the --black-regex= option is not recognized:

What is the right solution then? Lower the requirements of tempest to make sure that it can be installed using the constraints of all supported stable branches?
