Yes and no. We don’t set hard dependencies on documentation stuff
anyway, so specifying the versions wouldn’t help at all. Furthermore,
upstream tries to keep the document compatible with previous versions,
so the case you have hit is more likely an exception than the rule.

There are probably a number of documents that should conflict with yelp
(< 2.20) but no one yet has taken the time to investigate the
situation.
