Our strong advice to all maintainers of applications experiencing issues with upgrades is to pin dependencies using a tool such as pip-compile. Issues can happen with any transitive dependencies in your stack, not only Flask's, so applications need to pin to control when they get updates.

In this specific case, because we intend the 2.0, etc. releases to be a new baseline and are immediately not supporting the 1.1.x line, we will make a new release to set maximum versions. We do not intend to do this in general for future releases.
