I have dev-libs/msgpack-0.5.6 installed which is pulled in by dev-python/neovim-python-client through >=dev-python/msgpack-0.5.2. app-admin/salt blocks <dev-python/msgpack-0.5.5. This causes an unresolvable conflict when trying to install app-admin/salt on my system. PR referenced in URL fixes this by only blocking the broken 0.5.5 release, but allowing newer ones and thereby aligning the dependency definition to the upstream requirements.
